Bi All Accounts: An Anthology of Bi+ Voices, Volume 1

Rate this book
Bi+ people have always been here. Writing. Creating. Making. And we're done being erased.

Bi All Accounts is not a collection; it's a declaration. A chorus of bi+ voices refusing to shrink, contort, or explain themselves to fit someone else's story. Inside, you'll find essays, fiction, poetry, and art that cut to the bone and stitch you back up again. Stories about first crushes and chosen family, about erasure and euphoria, about fighting to be seen in a world that still asks if we exist.

This is not the tired "bi for now" narrative. This is bi+ forever, bi+ with nuance, bi+ with teeth. These are writers and artists who have lived through invisibility and still choose to speak. To sing. To shout.

Stories, poems, essays, and art by Millie Abecassis, d.l.adams, Xeneria Ann, Nurse Bean, Johanna Lynne Bowline, Brittany Brewer, Avery Bridge, T.L. Camelia, Ken Cumberlidge, Cozy Dubois, Alex Deuben, D.C. Emerson, Hillary Gonzalez, S.M. Gonzalez, Mage Hadley, Nori Rose Hubert, Angie Lackics, Kenzie Lemhouse, Brooke Lindley, Cassandra Medcalf, Mon Misir, Carol E. Moses, Fiona Mossman, Mary Condon O'Connor, M.C. Orend, Jeigh Q, Ryn, Darrel Shaffer Jr., Patricia Silva, Verónica Maria Pascoal Sousa, Corey Tatz, Mellanie Ulland,

Andy VanDoren, and Nicole Wylie.

The Bi+ Book Gang's mission is to build a community for bi+ writers through accountability and authentic connection. It offers writers at every level the chance to find a space where their identities are validated and their writing is championed.

(Thank you Bailey for the ARC) Stunning, sensational, showstopping 💜💙🩷

The last time I was seen so clearly was when I read Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann. It's both a saddening and gladdening feeling to know you aren't alone, that other people have (and secretly still do) understand what you go through when you identify as bisexual. What I appreciated most was that Bi All Accounts included tales and experiences from bi+ people of various genders, because LIKE YEAH... we all be goin thru the same shit 😔

Stories that struck me the most:
- What Are They Gonna Do? Fire Me? Do It. by M.C. Orend
- Extinguished Flames by Nurse Bean
- Of Earth and Sea by Angie Lakics (my absolute favourite!)
- I Was My First Eraser by Millie Abecassis
- My Stepsister's Wedding by Avery Bridge
- Inner Critic by Cassandra Medcalf
- Mr. Irrelevant by Darrell Shaffer Jr. (another banger)
- No no, I Insist It Was Another Hue by S.M. Gonzalez
- Bi+ Erasure in the LGBTQ+ Community (and Its Impact on Health Outcomes) by Mage Hadley (my favourite nonfiction piece, sadly very informative ;-;)
- "But Why?" by Johanna Lynne Bowline (second favourite!)

Trying to exist in a world that is so binary and divided, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one that exists in the middle

(ARC reader review)

A game show contestant must defend her sexuality in front of a live, queer celebrity-studded studio audience and a raucous host. (Let’s Play by Mon Misir)

“‘What an odd thing to say. Why do I tell people about myself? Why did I tell my family?’ I have never responded this way to the question before, but I’m trying something new.” (“But Why?” by Johanna Lynne Bowline)

Standing at the window, Oona can sense a storm coming. The wind and salt remind her of a time before her husband, of experiences and worlds that existed before him and will exist after. (Of Earth and Sea by Angie Lakics)

“My heart is a sea, not a closed door.” (Neither Here Nor There by Brooke Lindley)

“In many ways, it feels like our movement was purposefully derailed by people confused and angered by the fact that bi+ folks don’t fit into neat little boxes of desire.” (Introduction by Bailey Merlin)

Pandora is interrogated about her plus one, ordered into a new hairdo to hide her undercut, and dropped by her date when he learns she knows the bartender in the hot vest — all because she’s bi in her stepsister's wedding party. (My Stepsister’s Wedding by Avery Bridge)

“Part of me wants to find out how much facial hair the elephant in the room can grow before they finally ask.” (Dad, are you...? by Cozy DuBois)

“Sick. The fucking town’s caught the triad bug.” (Home Will Comfort by Xaneria Ann)

“This is a reason why sexual assaults against men are almost never talked about: they aren’t deemed real. … My body was mine and did not belong to other men, but this had not yet registered in my psyche.” (The Non-Consenting Outcast: A Bi Man’s Narrative by Corey Tatz)

“… bi-erasure, regardless of where it comes from, leads to poor health outcomes and a liminal existence for bi+ people.” (Bi+ Erasure in the LGBTQ+ Community by Mage Hadley)

This is a collection my bi heart needed.

B is but one letter in the acronym that represents the breadth of the queer community. B(+) is unique for its leap outside of the monosexual bubble that envelops all other orientations and identities. The patience, rage, beauty, and particular phenomenon of that leap (or pop, as some of us envision it) is captured wonderfully in this collection.

The tone of the introduction sets the scene: Reading Bi All Accounts is a casual but intimate encounter. Warm and approachable, it’s dinner with a friend you haven’t seen in months (or years)(because how often do we get bi+ stories, really?) It’s a voice note vent session after a long day of fielding questions only bisexuals would get. It’s a rinsing of our collective wounds. It’s crafting our home.

Throughout, moving personal narratives are accentuated by passionate prose. Andy VanDoren meditates on one of the most worn out bi+ tropes (that we’re just in a Phase) with luxurious language and visions. Fiona Mossman schools us in Botany for Bisexuals. In a poem titled Freddie Mercury, T.L. Camelia literally erases every occurrence of “bi.” Corey Tatz writes about boyhood, consent, and bisexuality in a ringing essay. In Home Will Comfort, Xaneria Ann features the many coming-outs of a throuple who recently moved back to their rural hometown.

Editor Bailey Merlin opens the anthology with a brief history of the bisexual identity and its place in society and in the queer community, the context in which this collection was created.

I believe this a strong first sprint in the relay of cultivating, collecting and publishing bi+ stories.

“We chose erasure as the theme for this first volume, not because it defines us, but because it’s where so many of us begin. Or where we get stuck. Or where we realize we need each other, but don’t know where to start looking,” Merlin writes.

If you are beginning; if you are stuck; if you don’t know where to start looking; if you need others … this is the collection for you.

First off, thank you Bailey Merlin. In our current climate this anthology could not be more timely. Thank you BookFunnel for the electronic ARC and an opportunity to read every contributor's work.

This volume focuses on the theme of Bi+ Erasure and I would love to pick the brain of who decided the order because some pieces will have you joyous and triumphant to then be brought back into your feels. The range of pieces in this anthology are wide and the stories, the poems, the essays, everything! It is so good. It covers such a range and from the jump also acknowledges the limits of our representation within this anthology, with a hope to continue and to continue including more diverse voices for future publications.

Every piece hits and I know the format of the eARC made it tricky for the poetry and some of the essays, but it only means I am more enthused to be able to hold it in my hands and read again for the first time how things should be laid out on the page.

3.5 rated up 4 Stars

Firstly, I'd like to thank the team behind this book for offering up ARCs of this book~! I really appreciate it and had meant to post the review on the day of release, but life likes to life.

I've never had to review an anthology before, though I've read plenty in my life. This book has a lovely mix of non-fiction, fiction, poetry, and photography/art. I won't be rating or reviewing every single one but will mention some of my favorites for sure. I also think it's fair to talk about how this book was put together by the editor and how well they did.

Overall, I think the editor did a good job of choosing some very interesting pieces that revolve around "bi erasure" which I hadn't realized would be the theme of this inaugural anthology. It was interesting to read their introduction and see how they came about creating this anthology, with how they were feeling in various online spaces. It struck me as odd though, because there's been various anthologies (both written word and in graphic novels) about being bisexual, and of course other similar terms. I feel like a lot of younger queers aren't doing their due diligence and looking into the history or past works of queer people, especially bi people, and think anything older than 15 years is ancient. This is why I wished when the editor disclosed some interesting stats to see where the diversity was (as they did blind submissions/acceptances), there was one about the contributor's ages. Because a lot of the fiction and some of the non-fiction here felt very young and unpolished. The few stories, poetry, and art pieces that were really standout are the ones that kept this rating rather high. I don't think it would be, however, one of the first bi or queer anthologies I'd recommend to people. But I'm truly happy there are more out there, and I can't wait to see what the next volumes would bring. It's still up there, especially for readability.

That being said, I'll state that I did love all the art pieces. As a former artist, it can be very hard to convey all the meaning you want in a static piece. And to convey erasure and your feelings with it? It's all subjective and hard to pin down but these few pieces did a great job. I wish there were a few more art pieces in here. My favorite is the photo collage, 'Freeze Frames'. Very lovely and reminds me of old Hollywood (where there were queers, and people of color and women who worked behind the scenes and yet...)

When it came to the poetry, there was some that was very hit or miss, like someone's first time learning what makes a poem a poem. Again, very subjective, and it was everyone's attempts at feeling bi-erasure through their life. But some felt like fragments of a draft that sadly didn't evoke anything in me. My absolute favorites were: Freddie Mercury with its almost sing-song like cadence and yet one stumbles because of the erasure and it was so good and clever; Inner Critic for the meta-ness of it, reminiscent to how I would edit my stories and poems as a young teen before I realized I was bi; Neither Here Nor There more of a classic poem, but so very evocative and aching to just want to be seen and understood.

I very much enjoyed the non-fiction pieces, some feeling like personal essays than academic, like "What Are They Gonna Do? Fire Me? Do I." which is about a young teacher being a safe space for their kids. Ah to have the sureness of the younger generation. It felt almost fiction, with the easy writing, but having known a few older queer teachers in my life, I could easily see this reality. It felt positive and happy among the sadder entries in this anthology considering the theme.

Even the second one, which was a letter to another of their childhood past, "To the Friend Who Told Me I Haven't Suffered Enough", which was beautiful and sad, almost felt like a story, a poem, and well done. Though as a Latina and older millennial I don't see the need to censor wetback. It's an insult yes, but this isn't tiktok.

I loved "Mr. Irrelevant" and happy to know what that meant, and utilizing sports as both metaphor and reality, and talking about erasure in history. It had some facts I hadn't learned in my own education about queer history and present, and I think it's certainly one of the entries one should absolutely read. This one and "The Non-Consenting Outcast: A Bi Man's Narrative". This one was again a personal narrative but also footnoted with articles and books that tried to understand the behaviors going around in the early 2000s. While this person is a decade younger than me, they had very similar entry ways and experiences to being a bi male that I know others my age and older had in the 90s too. It's a sad one, but a needed read and I hope some day that Corey will find someone who sees him and loves him.

For another one that's similar to a text book type of article, but again a much needed read is "Bi+ Erasure in the LGBTQ+ Community (and Its Impact on Bi+ Health Outcomes)". Especially when I was reading this, there was a whole bunch of online vitriol coming back from lesbian communities with biphobia. Everything keeps repeating. This was informative with personal experiences and analyses based on other online academic texts and similar.

And finally for the fiction. The first entry did not give me a lot of hope at first for the anthology, I have to say. It was too meta and too much like something I'd see back in the LiveJournal days for meta fanfiction. It was a mess to navigate and maybe it would appeal to the younger generation but it certainly didn't appeal to me, even with some of the points it was making about not feeling queer or bi enough.

"Of Earth and Sea" was a little sad and frustrating, but I feel that was the point. However, it was another that had some hope despite the loss of trying to fit into two different worlds. It's not very often to find a Selkie story that ends well. I did very much enjoy it.

"Home Will Comfort" is a small town fantasy. Fantasy in the sense of it being a near perfect town with polyamory and so many queers that the town is just... fine with it. It's both found family and actual family, and tries to showcase that in modern times we're not that much of a minority (or made up) as some like to believe. It should've been a lovely read for me. But... I'm a city gal, and when a narrative tries to claim that small town life is better than city life cause of community and acceptance? But majority of what I faced online was from small town places? I can't believe it, especially with how perfect everything was in this story. It will probably delight a lot of others, and I'm always happy to see poly relationships represented, but.. yeah. Well written otherwise.

"Self-Erasure" oddly hit close to home for me, with its geeky references and other things here and there that was very true for most of my life... Some of it still true. Nearly brought me to tears at the end but anything dealing with grief will do that. "Someone to Share the Load With" was a little dry in its writing, even with the anxiety of Olivia's mindset during this first date. But it was cute and awkward, and felt very real and down to earth. Another that ended in a bit of hope, which was a great piece of fiction to end with (not the last entry but of the fiction).

I think there was a decent mix of voices and stories, though as I stated, some felt a little amateurish. I'm still ever so grateful to receive a copy of this to read and enjoy.

The cover is gorgeous with its simplicity. I love the texture overall and seeing the flowers there. It's not in the obvious bi colors, but the feeling of it is around, with the light purple of the title. I kind of like the ambiguity of the cover, not quite giving you any other context clues to what the book entails. But at least you have flowers, and everyone deserves that in their life.

5 / 75 reads of 2026 - Bi All Accounts An Anthology of Bi+ Voices by Bailey Merlin
Anthology - Annotated - Owned - 5 Stars

-
TWs: Biphobia, bullying, depression, drug abuse, emotional abuse, intimate partner abuse, misgendering, paedophilla and grooming, physical assault, PTSD, self harm, sexism, sexual assault, sexual harassment and suicidal ideation.
-
This is the first installment of what I hope will become a rich lineage of bi+ literary work. A place to sit with the ache of erasure so that we can move past it. We are not the blank space. We are the ink. By all accounts, we were always here, and we're not going anywhere.
-
Bi All Accounts is not a collection; it's a declaration. A chorus of bi+ voices refusing to shrink, contort, or explain themselves to fit someone else's story. Inside, you'll find essays, fiction, poetry, and art that cut to the bone and stitch you back up again.Bi+ people have always been here. Writing. Creating. Making. And we're done being erased.
-
Man this hit me like a freight train, please be aware of the trigger warnings going in.
I am bisexual, well biromantic as I'm on the ace spectrum as well, but I felt every word of this. The fear, the erasure, the hurt, the anger. It's a brilliant collection of non-fiction, fiction, poetry and essays that truly show how rampant biphobia and erasure is outside and within the LGBTQ+ community.
As a teen I was very much closeted, bisexuality was around but was often used as an insult or the butt of a joke. As a femme bisexual, I was often told that I was either a self-hating lesbian or I was lying for attention, either way I struggled with my identity and relationships because of this.
As hard as some of this was to read, I urge every bi+ person to pick this up, I assure you'll see yourself and your experiences in its pages.
-
We need to share our experiences with it to help people understand and rally for those who fear losing their voice, including ourselves.
-
Books like this are so important because despite being the third letter in acronym and making up over half of the LGBTQ+ community, bisexual people (and bi+*) still don't have a proper place within the community, often feeling shunned and exlcuded.
There are 34 entires covering different people, different situations, told in different formats, all of which with a clear message. You are valid, your feelings and experiences are valid. And you are not alone.
-
The question becomes, how do bisexuals make themselves visible? The answer is that we con tinue to exist. Our existence alone is a logic-shattering notion to many. By reminding people that we are here, making ourselves present, and surviving, we rise above the label of irrevelency.

Received as an ARC.

Overall, I really enjoyed this collection of bi erasure tales through fiction and nonfiction stories, and poetry. But there were some issues that I felt worth noting that can hopefully be addressed in future anthologies:

The beginning has an abundance of stories about (sometimes undisclosed gender but stated as though it’s a straight relationship so presumably “women” however you want to interpret that) in relationships with men, which personally is not relatable. I really hoped for more diversity from the get go. There’s literally 4 of these stories right in the very beginning. Finally, we get a clearly different perspective 37 pages in with Boys Girls? It’s important to hear about everyone’s experience with bi erasure but I wish there was more examples of “people assuming you’re gay/lesbian” rather than “people assuming you’re straight” in the book.

I really liked A Perpetrator of Erasure as it talked about someone’s personal experience, unrelated to their partner. Also mention of Bi Women Quarterly which I love. I really also liked Not Out, I feel like that’s a short simple poem a lot of people could relate to. There also wasn’t too much explicit examples of nonbinary/trans experiences in the anthology, which I really would’ve loved to hear more of. At the beginning, we get a breakdown of the contributors’ identities and that helps put things into perspective a lot better. I did love Someone to Share the Load With though - a long one but well worth it!

TLDR: I just really wanted to see myself and my friends/loved ones more in these stories and unfortunately I didn’t. But I do think a lot of bi+ people will love this anthology and relate to it, so I do recommend giving it a read!

I want to thank Bailey Merlin and all the authors of “Bi All Accounts” for this wonderful anthology showcasing Bi+ voices! I was lucky enough to read this one before its official release, and here are my thoughts.

“What keeps me going is the thought that every single person who comes out as bisexual deserves to feel welcome, seen, represented, and safe under the umbrella that the community should provide.” - Mellanie Ulland

“Bi All Accounts” is a vibrant collection of Bi+ stories, poems, essays, and artwork that captures the complexities of life as a Bi+ person. The pieces explore everything from the pain of feeling invisible or left out to the joy of embracing and celebrating yourself, no matter what others may think. As someone who discovered my bisexuality later in life, after marrying a man, I found many of these stories deeply relatable and comforting. It was such a joy to see that I’m far from alone in these experiences.

“I proceed with dejection for I am unable to express
The emotions of a thirty-year sentence served before discovery
I am a Bisexual.” - Nurse Bean

“But. I wear my identity proudly everywhere I go-in my style, in the accessories I wear, my pins and bracelets, the shoelaces on my Blundstone boots. But. I choose, every day, to make sure that even if I felt alone, my existence lets other people know that they aren’t.” - Johanna Lynne Bowline

I would love to eventually pick up a hard copy of this book, since the digital format was a little wonky on my end. That said, it didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed the read!

Whether you’re Bi+ yourself or simply want to better understand the spectrum of bisexual experiences, this collection is eye-opening and affirming. It’s a heartfelt, thought-provoking celebration of Bi+ voices, presented through a variety of mediums, highlighting both the challenges and the joys of living authentically. This collection is a must-read for anyone seeking insight, empathy, and a richer understanding of the Bi+ community. “Bi All Accounts” will be available on September 23, 2025!

An assertive anthology that doesn't hesitate to bring light to the sinister bisexual erasure that is so rampant. Bisexual erasure has many shapes and forms and this anthology gives a mic to bisexuals so our pained voices can finally be heard.

There is nothing more I love than reading the voices of bisexuals. We need to be more loud than ever and I'm grateful this anthology exists.

I'm happy to say this anthology delivered what it promised and much more. Looking forward to the second volume!

Inside are heart touching poems and essays, creative fictional stories, beautiful art and informative pieces.

The range in their pieces is incredible. They express the joy that can be found with bisexuality and capture how the callousness of people around us can hurt us deeply.

The essays had the ugly hurtful truth laid out bare which show you how cruel the world can be and yet we always find space for hope and happiness.

I liked how the fictional stories explored biphobia and it's affects on bisexuals: how it can keep us in denial and lock us in closet forever, how people refuse to understand what bisexuals experience and have conditional acceptable towards us, etc.

The poems. So short yet so insightful. They tell so much with such little words, it left me speechless in a good way.

I appreciate the diverse voices they included in the anthology and look forward to it's continuation.

Thank you to biplusbookgang and the editor for the ARC! It was an absolute pleasure reading this.

I had a great time Reading Bi All Accounts. The Artwork, Fiction, Poetry, and Non-fiction told stories of Bi-erasure and how it affects the Bi+ community at large.

While I am a contributor in this anthology, I am in awe of the other authors and artists included. Some of the many standout pieces were Mr. Irrelevant, Botany for Bisexuals, Freeze Frames, and Let’s Play. I saw myself reflected in the ink on the page, and know that a collection like this would have given the teenage version of myself hope.

I am thankful for Bailey Merlin who curated the anthology for Bi+ people who are out, in the closet, learning about their identity, and allies who want to gain perspective on the Bi+ experience.

It is acknowledged in the forward that with future installments there is a goal to gain more diverse perspectives. You have to start somewhere, and in an anthology you can only draw from the work submitted. I hope as this project continues more diverse voices and stories can be told.

“For the first time in a long time, I saw myself in someone else’s words. My story wasn’t a one-off or strange, and I realized I wasn’t alone anymore.” — Mellanie Ulland, Bi All Accounts

This quote perfectly encapsulates how it felt reading this anthology that I’m so grateful to have had a chance to ARC read. It’s a book on Bi+ erasure that makes your bi+ness feel visible. It gives words and facts to emotions and experiences Bi+ people face and know too well, often in isolation. From the first fiction story I was hooked, feeling like someone crafted this anthology just for me (and as a Bi+ person, I guess they did.) It’s never been more important to speak boldly and loudly about queer experiences. I am so grateful and proud of each contributor of this anthology for sharing their art with the world.

Although there are some fiction books featuring bi characters and a few essays discussing issues specific to bi+ people, it can be difficult to find relevant references. Here, Bailey Marvin and the authors who contributed to this anthology offer us a wide variety of texts: fiction, personal accounts, and poems that invite us into a diverse range of realities.
While reading, I recognized myself in several situations, from biphobia linked to clichés about plurisexuality to the joy of being accepted for who one is.
English is not my first language, but the texts are clear, well written, and touched me deeply.
I encourage anyone interested in the subject to read this beautiful anthology.

ARC Review

This was my first time delving into an anthology divulging how people have wrestled/come to terms with this aspect of identity. To read authors voices on their queerness from countries outside my own was a new experience for me. I found stories that delighted, others that jarred me with the visceral descriptions, and could see some of my own experiences reflected by different writers. While not every entry was for me, I appreciate them all. Some were quite creative with analogy, others with format, and there was art included as well!

I can see myself rereading the some of the short stories again and again

It is a really emcompassing collection of various bi experiences and allowed me to better understand the various struggles of being bi through different perspectives and the feelings and internalised sufferings and how often finding a place of kindness or someone that understands can really help so much.
As it focuses on erasure and all the essays really bring home how hurtful and impactful it can be, that mere understanding even within the group is so essential yet also taking so long to achieve.

This anthology is beautiful, heartbreaking and so very important.
In several artistic ways, though fiction, non-fiction, poetry and art the reader gets to see the point of view and perspective of bi+ people. And also see the many shapes bi-erasure can have, and the harm it can and does to so many people.
This is a book filled with important stories that I recommend anyone to read to get a better and richer perceptive on life.

This anthology is a mix of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, and I really enjoyed it. I expected to be seen, but not like this. A couple of these stories reflected elements of my own experience so exquisitely that I had to stop and reflect. So many stories of fear, confusion, and erasure, but the ones that focus on how we erase ourselves really hit home. There are a few pieces that will definitely get a re-read, and I'm looking forward to reading the next anthology from this collective.

I think, in today's political climate, this anthology is more important than ever, especially during Bi visibility week. As with most anthologies, there were some entries that worked for me better than others, but as a whole I really enjoyed this one. I loved that it wasn't just an anthology of one sort, but instead had people telling their stories however best represented what they needed to express. It added something extra special and unique and I'm looking forward to more volumes!

This is the first time I've ever reviewed an anthology, so I'm not really sure how to go about it.

This collection of voices really spoke to my heart and who I am as an individual, but also a member of a community. All of the time and passion put into the book by Bailey Merlin and the authors are so evident and wonderful. I love that these voices are getting their much deserved showcase.

I loved the multi media aspect of this anthology! The short stories, poetry, nonfiction essays, and the artwork as well—all represented such beautiful aspects of the bi+ experience. The annotated poem spoke especially closely to my heart. I’m so grateful this volume exists and hope more are to come 😌

I was so lucky to get an ARC of Bi All Accounts! It made my little bisexual heart laugh, cry, and feel far too seen. I never quite knew what I was going to get when I turned the page: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or art. I read mostly novels, but this was the anthology I didn’t know I needed.

Thank you to Bailey Merlin for a free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

This book offers a rich tapestry to stories and experiences of bisexual erasure. These stories are important and I feel very lucky to have read them. My favourite pieces were “My Stepsister’s Wedding” by Avery Bridge, “Home Will Comfort” by Xaneria Ann and “Dad, are you…?” Cozy DuBois.

Let's Play by Mon Misir
This was an incredibly real insight into the mind of someone coming to terms with their sexuality and struggling with the perception from others. Every jab from the gameshow host reflected very real thoughts about not being 'enough' to claim a label from the queer community. While slightly uncomfortable to read, I think this is a great short story for anyone looking to gain more insight into the emotions and feelings that are so common for queer people.
