About the Author:

J.Q. (Jacob Quentin) Gagliastro is a queer nonbinary pansexual Italian-American author from Philadelphia. J.Q. grew up as the new kid, moving from state to state—VA, NY, FL, MA, PA, and CT. At age sixteen, he was thrown out for dressing "too fem." Despite the lack of parental financial support, he pushed himself through school and earned a BA in French Language & Literature from Allegheny College. He studied language arts in Northern Italy and Angers, France. In France, he worked at the city hall of Fismes as a FR/EN translator. He then moved to the great city of Philadelphia and returned to his one true passion—literature. Coming from a working-class family of eight, J.Q. always had to support himself. When he couldn't, he became a sugarbaby and ashamedly sold his body. While The Diary of a Sugarbaby is a work of fiction, it is also a horrendous yet bittersweet story about his life and honest experiences as a sugarbaby twisted into a political satire. It is a #1 BESTSELLER in LGBTQ+ Coming of Age Fiction and a 5-Star read according to Readers' Favorite. Kirkus Reviews called it, “A frightening novel about an unthinkable future,” while the Manhattan Book Review called it, “The Handmaid’s Tale on steroids. Captivating and graphic!” Follow @jq.gagliastro on Instagram for upcoming projects!
