Hi there, I'm Becki (she/they) and I write queer young adult stories.My debut novel Tart, a queer YA romance, is out August 14th 2025 with Bloomsbury and available to pre-order now!
When the world is telling you what you are, how do you speak your truth?Libby's world shatters when a video of her 'cheating' on her popular boyfriend, Dan, goes viral the night he gets into a serious bike accident.Overnight, school friends turn into bullies and the only person who will talk to her is Neha, the new girl everyone else ignores.While Dan is in a coma, oblivious to the drama unfolding around him, Libby and Neha grow closer.But Neha's not ready to admit she's been crushing on Libby for months. And if Libby follows her heart, she'll be making her already messy life a lot messier.Smart, sweetly funny and heartwarming, Tart is a must-read exploration of coming out and accepting yourself. Perfect for fans of She Gets the Girl and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.Available for pre-order now!
about
Becki Jayne Crossley has had a book in her hands since before she could actually read, and since mastering the art of holding a pencil they've been writing down stories.As a bisexual author, Becki is passionate about queer YA stories that portray the realities of coming out and discovering your sexuality - especially considering the lack of stories they had like this while growing up.When not writing, Becki can be found reading at her favourite coffee shops around Nottingham, playing too much The Sims 4, and occasionally painting things with questionable skill.Becki is represented by Saffron Dodd at ASH Literary.
