Torrey Peters is a novelist and short fiction writer whose work centers on transgender experience and identity. Before her breakout debut novel Detransition, Baby (2021), she self-published three novellas between 2016 and 2017: The Masker, Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones, and Glamour Boutique. These novellas built an audience within trans communities and established Peters as a distinctive voice in contemporary fiction.

Detransition, Baby brought Peters to wider attention. The novel follows three women, two of them trans, navigating questions of parenthood, identity, and desire in New York City. It was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction. Her short story collection, Stag Dance & Stories, followed in 2025.
