Nic Stone

Nic Stone is an American author of young adult fiction and middle grade fiction, best known for her 2017 debut novel Dear Martin and her middle grade debut, Clean Getaway (2020). Her novels have been translated into six languages.

Stone has described herself as bi and "label-averse". In the author's notes of her 2018 novel Odd One Out, Stone wrote "I continue to waffle between labels. (Am I bisexual? Pansexual? Queer? Heteroflexible? All of the above? None of the above?) Bottom line, there's nothing wrong with questioning, and I personally don't think self-discovery has an expiration date. For some, labels are grounding and give a sense of identity. Others find them too narrow and restrictive."
