Anna-Marie McLemore has been a regular contributor to LGBTQ+ young adult anthologies since 2018. The All Out anthology, edited by Saundra Mitchell, brought together stories of queer teens throughout history and was one of the first major YA collections of its kind. McLemore contributed to it and to its follow-ups, Out Now and Out There, which expanded the scope to include science fiction and fantasy settings alongside realistic fiction.

Beyond the Out series, McLemore has appeared in The Radical Element (stories of girls who challenged the status quo), Body Talk (stories about body image and identity), The Collectors, and Faeries Never Lie. These anthologies show a different side of McLemore’s writing from their novels, with shorter pieces that still carry their signature warmth and attention to cultural detail.
