Mason Deaver is a bestselling and award-nominated nonbinary author from North Carolina, now based in Charlotte. They write young adult and adult romance novels with a strong focus on queer characters and experiences. Their debut novel, I Wish You All the Best (2019), broke new ground as one of the first YA books to feature an openly nonbinary protagonist, and it earned praise from NPR, Cosmopolitan, and Kirkus Reviews.

Deaver’s books range from grief-centered stories like The Ghosts We Keep, which follows a teen coping with his brother’s death, to lighthearted romances like Okay, Cupid, about an agender teen juggling Cupid duties and first love. Their work has received starred reviews from Booklist and Bookpage, won the Pink News Best Young Adult Book Award, and been nominated for the Goodreads Choice Awards. I Wish You All the Best was adapted into a feature film directed by Tommy Dorfman, premiering at SXSW in 2024.

Beyond their solo novels, Deaver has contributed to several anthologies focused on queer teen stories, including the All Out and Out Now collections.
