YA Novelist and Poet
Dev Jannerson is a Young Adult author. His debut novel, The Women of Dauphine (NineStar, 2019), published as Deb Jannerson, was a finalist in the Fiction: LGBTQ category of the Best Book Awards. Kirkus Reviews praised its "appealing characters, deft prose, and psychological insights." Jannerson is currently querying a YA novel-in-verse about mental health, family secrets, and trauma's trippy dreams, pitched as "We Are Okay meets Shout."

Prior to Dauphine, Jannerson had two poetry collections, Rabbit Rabbit (FLP, 2016) and Thanks for Nothing (FLP, 2018), also published as Deb Jannerson. Autostraddle praised the former as "the perfect thing to read in the comfort of your room, any time you're longing to feel less alone." The latter was a finalist for the Golden Crown Award.
