Jona Nightingale (they/he) is a Jamaican-born, an openly queer trans writer and poet living in the Northeast US. They believe in power of representation, reading for chaos, and celebrating culture and creativity with whimsy. If you see them in a cafe or bookstore, know that they are up plotting something devious and strange.

When Jona isn't writing, you can find him talking with his chickens, sharing stories with his bestie, or drinking a nice cup of hot tea. You can follow them for more book and writing updates on BlueSky @jonanightingale.bsky.social or TikTok and Instagram @jonathenightingale.
