Olivia Waite writes historical romance with a focus on queer women in love. Her best-known work is the Feminine Pursuits series, which pairs Regency settings with sapphic romance and women who refuse to stay in the background.

Beyond the Feminine Pursuits trilogy, Waite has published standalone romances spanning paranormal, historical, and contemporary subgenres.
