Wonderland Pride Spotlight Day 3: Jeza Belle

Welcome to day 3 of the 2026 Wonderland Pride Spotlight! This is my way to help champion LGBTQ+ books and authors this Pride month! Today I am interviewing Jeza Belle. Be sure to check out my Instagram for even more excitement with this event!

The Interview

1. Are you LGBTQ+? If so, how?

"Yes- G/Q/+"

2. What rep do your books have?

"Secrets in the Tallgrass: an intersex main character. It is part of a collection of historical fiction novels featuring LGBTQIA+ main characters in settings where our existence has been minimized or overlooked."

3. If you were to write in a different genre, what would it be?

"I consider myself a genre-fluid author so there's not a genre I wouldn't [dip] a toe-point into...at least once. 

4. What is your biggest writing inspiration?

"I am inspired by queer existence across time and spaces. Through all of my work I like to shine a light on our endurance in times of trouble and in daily existence, as that existence is often seen as a challenge merely by our being alive."

5. Anything exciting for you on the horizon?

"Yes! I have a new comedy show June 20 in NYC for Pride called Hated Rivalry at the Copacabana. I host a virtual reading event called Book-A-Licious where I bring together LGBTQIA+ authors and readers from literally around the globe to provide a space for marginalized authors to read from their books. The next one is July 25. Follow me on insta to sign up for the event or to get tix to Hated Rivalry!"

6. Who is a queer figure you look up to?

"I always say when I grow up I want to be Lady Bunny. I think she is disgustingly funny and I find her to be someone who really stands her ground."
