Divine Byrd

I'm Divine, a young adult novelist and human rights attorney. I’m currently working with my amazing agent, Alice, at ASH Literary on my debut novel, The Lesser Evil. It's a gentle blend of romance and fantasy that packs an anti-establishment punch. 


As a Black, queer woman, I try to write stories that amplify the experiences of my communities. I contribute to legal writing and research on human rights, poverty, and discrimination, many of which connect to the themes in my books. My articles can be found below or at usrenews.org.

(Don’t be confused if my byline says Devyne instead of Divine. My mother didn’t quite get the vision.)
