About

Cale Plett (they/them) is a nonbinary, genderfluid writer living on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg, MB. 

They are the author of two upcoming YA novels which span everything from high school rock bands in Wavelength to monsters in The Saw Mouth. What the books have in common is an emphasis on diverse queer representation in settings where LGBTQ+ characters can exist safely within their identities, leaving space for all sorts of heartbreak, euphoria, and disaster.

Cale holds a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Winnipeg, and their short fiction and poetry have been published in numerous journals and magazines. They are an alum of the Emerging Writers Residency at the Banff Centre and a 2024 fellow at Lambda Literary's Writers Retreat for Emerging LGBTQ Voices.

In the rest of their life, Cale is a literacy educator and music teacher. They can typically be found wherever their favorite people are, preferably somewhere with live music to listen to, boardgames to play, or lakes to swim in.

Cale Plett is represented by Amy Tompkins at Transatlantic Literary Agency.
