The Rise of ‘OwnVoices’ in Urban Fantasy

Today, I want to chat about something that’s been living in the back of my writer‐brain lately: the rise of #OwnVoices in urban fantasy. As someone who writes urban fantasy paranormal stuff anyway (yep, me), I’m extra interested in how authors from marginalized communities are increasingly stepping up and telling their stories — and why that matters so much.

What is #OwnVoices?

If you haven’t already heard the term: the hashtag OwnVoices was coined by the author Corinne Duyvis in 2015 and simply refers to stories where the author shares the marginalized identity of their protagonist. So if you’re writing about a character with a disability and you have that disability — that’s an OwnVoices story. (Bang2write)

Why does that matter? Because historically urban fantasy (and fantasy in general) has been dominated by white authors, with whitemiddle status protagonists, and often recycled tropes and settings. So when you switch the lens to someone who’s writing from within a marginalized community — you often get something fresher, more layered, more honest.

Why it’s gaining momentum in urban fantasy

Urban fantasy (think: magic colliding with city streets, haunted skyscrapers, ghosts in apartment blocks) is such a fertile space for identity work: heroes dealing with “ordinary life” and “supernatural life,” often straddling two worlds. So it makes sense that marginalized authors are drawn here — because the metaphor fits: two worlds, unseen threats, hidden powers, shadows in the margins.

And yes — I feel like there’s a visible shift. More authors who are Black, Latinx, Indigenous, queer, trans, disabled are leading urban fantasy stories, rather than being side characters. There are publications and lists pointing this out. (Epic Reads)
It’s about representation — but also authenticity. One blogger wrote:

“I love seeing #OwnVoices … it signals to publishers that we’re here: us non-white, non-normative authors are here writing the stories we want to tell…” (Sarah Raughley, Author)
As a writer myself I totally get: I want the freedom to tell the weird, the haunted, the queer shifts between worlds — but from my perspective, my experience, not just “white standard fantasy + a token character”.

Some cool examples

For those of you who love reading AND perhaps writing in this space, here are a few authors titles worth spotlighting (with the caveat: there are many, this is just a starter).

Daniel José Older — Shadowshaper

This is classic urban fantasy: set in Brooklyn, the protagonist Sierra Santiago (Afro-Boricua) discovers her family legacy of “shadowshaping” (infusing art with ancestral spirits). (Wikipedia)

Why it resonates: Older writes from a perspective of Latinx identity layered with Afro-Caribbean heritage, in a cityscape (Brooklyn) that feels real and gritty. And the magic system intersects with cultural legacy. If you’re writing urban fantasy set in an identity-charged environment, this one may fuel some ideas.

Tracy Deonn — Legendborn

YA urban fantasy contemporary fantasy with Black lead Bree Matthews, magic tied into Arthurian legend but reframed with Black Southern roots.

What I appreciate: It shows how the “city magic” or “modern mythic” trope can be layered with race, grief, and legacy. As someone who writes paranormal noir set in 1930s Chicago, this kind of layering is exactly the kind of depth I admire.

Maurice Broaddus —  King Maker  (and the trilogy)

Broaddus is a Black author whose work crosses urban fantasy, myth, street-level magic, in modern plus myth mashups.

If you’re thinking of writing a story that intersects “urban” + “magic” + “gangs or street culture” + identity, his trajectory is a good one to study.

What this means for you (and me) as writers

Since you (my dear indie-writer friend) are working on paranormal noir and urban fantasy (Yay!), this rise of OwnVoices authors offers a few take-aways.

  • If you write from a marginalized identity (and you do have your own unique voice as a gay indie writer) then leaning into  your  lived experience (shifts, outsider status, identity, community) can lend authenticity.
  • If you don’t share the identity of a character, you can still write that character — but with care, research, sensitivity, maybe sensitivity readers. The OwnVoices movement helps us see why authenticity matters.
  • From the market side: readers are actively looking for stories by authors from marginalized communities. That means an opportunity. (But also responsibility.)
  • For your blog and marketing: you could highlight how your own identity influences your paranormal noir urban fantasy worlds. That gives you a unique brand voice (which you’re already cultivating).
  • – From a storytelling standpoint: urban fantasy that leans into identity isn’t just “magic + city” — it’s “magic + city + society + identity + culture.” That layering gives richness (and gives readers something they  haven’t  necessarily seen before).

My thoughts (and some quirks)

Okay — real talk: I feel hopeful about this shift. As someone who’s been in the urban fantasy trenches, seeing more varied voices feels like a breath of fresh air in sometimes stale territory. Also: as a reader, I get energized when I  recognize  a lived experience that isn’t mine — because that expands empathy and curiosity.

At the same time: I also recognize the pressure placed on marginalized authors to “represent the whole community” (which is unfair). One writer reflected on that:

“…that even movements designed to champion marginalized authors can sometimes become twisted into the very thing used to restrain them.” (Sarah Raughley, Author)

So — for you and me, the takeaway is: write  what you’re drawn to, write what you know, but don’t burden yourself with being “the one answer” for all of a community.

Since I write queer urban fantasy/paranormal with wolf shifters or ghosts or mediums (so cool), I often incorporate your unique voice (as a gay writer) in subtle ways. Maybe my protagonists carry trauma, maybe they challenge hunter/hunted dynamics, maybe they exist in community in ways mainstream urban fantasy hasn’t shown. That kind of “insider outsider” perspective is gold for those who pull it off.

So yeah, big cheers to more voices, more magic, more weird city-streets haunted by unseen things.

Just for Fun: If I Lived in an Urban Fantasy World…

By /
Night view on a futuristic city, full moon in sky

I think about this way too often—what my life would look like if I lived in an urban fantasy world. Like, not full-on dragon-riding-into-battle level (I’d probably fall off halfway through), but more like the kind of world where I could stop for a coffee, chat with a vampire about rent prices, and dodge a kelpie in the river on my morning walk. You know, casual Tuesday kind of magic.

Morning Coffee, But Make It Magical

First thing’s first: I’d absolutely still need coffee. Magic or not, mornings are cruel. But instead of standing in line at Starbucks behind someone ordering a half-decaf, extra-foam, caramel drizzle situation, I’d go to a café run by witches who enchant the beans to taste like your mood. Feeling nostalgic? Your latte might have a hint of your grandmother’s cookies. Feeling grumpy? Boom—instant chocolate hazelnut comfort.

I imagine the barista—probably a snarky fire sprite with tattoos that glow when she’s annoyed—would roll her eyes when I ask for a “medium,” because magic folk don’t measure in sizes, they measure in intent. “You want ambition,” she’d say, sliding over a cup that smells like cedar and possibility. I’d tip her in silver coins, because paper money probably bursts into flames around magic.

Daily Grind with a Side of Ghosts

I still picture myself writing, but instead of blogging in a quiet corner of my apartment, I’d be at a haunted library—like, actually haunted. Ghost librarians shushing me whenever I type too loudly. They’d have transparent cardigans and perpetually disappointed expressions. My keyboard would probably float sometimes if the spirits got bored.

Maybe my editor would be a werewolf who only replies to emails during the full moon. Deadlines would literally kill. I’d keep a salt circle around my desk, not because I believe in ghosts, but because it would make me feel professional. There’s something comforting about the smell of sage and ink mingling together in the morning.

Magical Errands and Mundane Chaos

Of course, everyday tasks would get a little more complicated. Grocery shopping? Forget it. Half the produce would try to bite you back. You’d be inspecting a head of lettuce and realize it’s whispering financial advice. I’d probably end up shopping at a market under the old subway—run by gnomes and staffed by teenagers who sell charms along with carrots.

Transportation would be another mess. Public broomstick lanes would be a nightmare, and don’t even get me started on teleportation traffic. Imagine materializing inside someone else’s apartment by mistake. “Sorry, I was aiming for 5th Avenue, not your bathtub!” And of course, every app would glitch if you had too much residual spell energy. Magic and tech rarely play nice together. Siri would probably hiss at you if you tried casting mid-text.

Evenings with the Neighbors

Living in a magical city means neighbors are a grab bag of supernatural weirdness. You might have a banshee next door who practices opera scales at 2 a.m. Or a vampire couple hosting dinner parties where no one eats, but everyone drinks… something. I’d totally be the human in the building—“that guy who smells like coffee and mortal anxiety.”

Still, I’d love it. The community would have that found family vibe, you know? The kind where everyone keeps an eye out for each other—partly out of friendship, partly because no one wants another incident involving exploding pixies in the hallway. Rent would probably be paid in enchantments or favors, which sounds cool until you realize you owe your landlord three nights of guarding his cursed mirror collection.

Adventures Between Book Drafts

I’d like to think I’d occasionally get pulled into some low-stakes supernatural mystery. Maybe a ghost asks me to find their lost journal, or a fae prince needs help translating human slang before his date. I wouldn’t be the “chosen one.” I’d be more like the guy who keeps getting roped into chaos because he’s there. You know—wrong place, wrong time, and apparently good at making tea.

But hey, there’s a charm to that. Writing by candlelight, chasing down clues in moonlit alleys, running into an ex who’s now half-demon and fully dramatic—it’s messy, unpredictable, and kind of wonderful.

Would I Survive It?

Honestly? Maybe. I don’t have the stamina to fight ghouls or the temperament to deal with trickster gods. But I’d be great at trivia nights in a witch bar, and I’d totally make friends with the necromancer who runs the used bookstore. We’d gossip about cursed objects and overhyped spell trends.

And I’d finally understand why people in fantasy novels always look tired—magic probably doesn’t replace sleep. It just makes the dreams weirder.

Final Thoughts Before the Portal Closes

If I lived in an urban fantasy world, I think life would still be life. Still messy. Still filled with laundry and unexpected bills and heartbreaks—but maybe all that would sparkle a little. Maybe I’d have a ghost roommate who reminds me to water the plants, or a familiar who steals my snacks but listens when I’m sad.

And that’s kind of what I love about urban fantasy in general—it takes the ordinary and gives it a pulse. It says, “Hey, maybe the weirdest parts of you are the most magical.”

So yeah, I’d take it. Give me a city where the streetlights hum with spells and the buskers breathe fire. I’d still be me—just slightly more singed.

It starts with a smell. Cedar. Warm, nostalgic, familiar—and impossibly strong in a house that’s been empty for decades. For Marek, the scent is just the beginning. Soon he sees the ghost: a handsome stranger in a black suit, his eyes filled with grief. As Marek’s connection to the spirit deepens, his present with Randy begins to fracture even further. Caught between the living and the dead, Marek has to decide what kind of life—and love—he truly wants. Gothic, romantic, and a little eerie, A Touch of Cedar is a story about the ties between past and present, and the secrets old houses never quite give up. Grab your copy HERE

Hidden Gems – Underrated Urban Fantasy Novels You Should Absolutely Read (Because Magic Deserves Better PR)

By /

handsome young man 18-24 reading a book book

Let me tell you something kind of embarrassing.

Years ago, I went on a total urban fantasy binge. We’re talking full-on hermit mode: blackout curtains, microwave burritos, and me mumbling spells under my breath like I was preparing for battle at the local Walgreens. It started innocently with The Dresden Files, then Mercy Thompson, then Kate Daniels, and before I knew it, I’d devoured all the Big Names™ and hit the dreaded “recommendation fatigue” wall.

You know that wall. You’ve read the heavy hitters. You’ve seen the same five series recommended in every single listicle. And then suddenly you’re wandering the genre wilderness, thinking, Where is all the weird, niche, juicy stuff hiding?

So I started digging. Hard. And oh boy—there’s gold in those shadows.

1. The Rook by Daniel O’Malley

Okay, so this one did get a Starz adaptation (that absolutely butchered the source material—don’t get me started), but somehow people still overlook the book itself, and I will not stand for that.

The Rook is what you get if you dropped Jason Bourne into a supernatural MI6 and gave him a dry British sense of humor. The story kicks off with Myfanwy Thomas waking up in a park surrounded by dead bodies and no memory of who she is—except for a note in her pocket… from herself. From there, it spirals into a secret government agency, sentient mold, psychic ducks (seriously), and body-hopping villains.

It’s witty, weird, clever as hell, and criminally underrated.

2. Midnight Riot (aka Rivers of London) by Ben Aaronovitch

This one technically has a cult following in the UK, but in the States, it barely gets mentioned in urban fantasy convos, and that’s a crime. It’s basically Harry Potter grew up, joined the London police force, and started dealing with magical crimes involving jazz vampires, river gods, and supernatural graffiti.

The dry wit is sharp, the world-building is layered and historically rich, and Peter Grant—the biracial, magic-apprentice-cop protagonist—is one of the most relatable leads I’ve ever read. Also, there are ghosts. And they’re _not_friendly.

3. Borderline by Mishell Baker

Now this one messed me up in the best way.

Borderline follows Millie, a young woman with borderline personality disorder (yep, that’s where the title comes from), who’s recruited into a secret organization that polices interactions between Hollywood and a parallel realm of fairies. Think The Magicians meets The Devil Wears Prada, with a heavy dose of mental health realism and some brutally honest commentary on the disability community.

What I love is that the story doesn’t flinch. Millie is raw, flawed, angry—and also brilliant, funny, and unapologetically herself. The blend of mental health and urban fantasy isn’t something I’ve seen done this well elsewhere.

4. The Arcadia Project Series (Just read all three)

Following Borderline, do yourself a favor and read the rest of the series. It escalates in ways that are bananas in the best way. No spoilers, but the Fae politics go deep, and there’s a scene in the final book involving a film set, a tear in the fabric of reality, and a flying fish that I still think about way too often.

5. City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett

Okay okay, this one leans a little more “weird magical spy thriller” than traditional urban fantasy, but it feels urban. There’s a dead god, a city where reality bends around buried divine laws, and a cranky, badass bureaucrat named Shara Thivani who investigates a murder that might unravel, well, everything.

There’s something deeply satisfying about how grounded this book feels despite the epicness. Plus, it asks big philosophical questions—about faith, memory, and colonialism—without ever getting preachy. Also: knife fights. Glorious, grimy knife fights.

Why This Matters (To Me, Anyway)

I think urban fantasy sometimes gets pigeonholed. People expect broody vampires and sarcastic detectives (don’t get me wrong—I love both), but there’s so much more lurking in the shadows. Mental health. Queer identities. Neurodivergent protagonists. Diverse mythology. Weird sidekicks with questionable hygiene.

Finding these books felt like cracking open secret doors in a genre I thought I’d already explored. They reminded me that urban fantasy doesn’t have to be formulaic. It can be sharp, unpolished, hilarious, raw—just like the cities it’s meant to reflect.

So if you’re like me and you’ve hit that genre wall, these are the books I’d shove into your hands. Some are funny, some are sad, some are just straight-up bizarre—but all of them deserve more love than they’ve gotten.

Go find your next favorite obsession. Just, uh, maybe clear your weekend first. You’re not gonna want to put them down.

Witches, Wolves, and Wasted Potential: Urban Fantasy on Screen

By /

Supernatural paranormal scene featuring a television

Okay, fellow weirdos—can we talk about urban fantasy on screen? You know, all the witches, vampires, secret magical societies, demons with great cheekbones, and morally ambiguous love interests that somehow always have tragic backstories and a tendency to lurk in alleyways? Yeah, that genre. The one that raised us, disappointed us, and sometimes left us wondering if we could get a refund on our emotional investment.

Some shows blew my mind in the best way possible. Others… well, they felt like dollar-store spellbooks with missing pages. So here we go—my personal, deeply biased, occasionally snack-fueled list of urban fantasy hits, misses, and the shows that left me somewhere in between, wondering what might’ve been.

🔥 The Hits (aka the ones I’d let bite me)

1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Let’s start with the queen, shall we? Buffy defined urban fantasy TV for a whole generation. We had sass, we had stakes (literally), and we had monsters as metaphors for every adolescent nightmare. It juggled horror and humor with actual character arcs. And now… a Buffy reboot is allegedly coming to Netflix soon. I’m cautiously optimistic, but seriously—can it hold a candle to the original? Or will it just feel like a high-budget fanfic in a world already saturated with reboots that forgot what made the original special?

2. Shadowhunters
Look, I know this one gets side-eye from certain corners of the internet, but I loved it. Yes, it was occasionally (okay, frequently) chaotic. And yes, sometimes the dialogue made me want to throw my remote. But it had heart, magic tattoos, cool-looking weapons, and Malec. Like, that pairing alone kept me emotionally invested far longer than was reasonable. Do I wish it had a bigger budget and stronger scripts? Sure. But do I regret binge-watching every episode and sighing dramatically through the finale? Not even a little.

3. Supernatural
I watched every episode. All 327 of them. And yeah, it probably should’ve ended around Season 5 (okay, maybe Season 11 at the latest), but Sam and Dean? Forever icons. That car, that classic rock, that weird mix of horror and dad jokes? Gold. I still get misty-eyed thinking about some of those emotional arcs. And honestly, what’s not to love about two brothers fighting monsters while slowly becoming them?

4. Teen Wolf
Yes, I’m putting Teen Wolf in the hits. Come at me. That show had absolutely no business being as good as it sometimes was. The vibes? Immaculate. The chemistry? Off the charts. Stiles Stilinski? A whole icon. Season 3A in particular was next-level, with its oni demons, sacrificial darkness, and psychological horror. Did it occasionally veer into the land of Beautiful People Running Through Fog With No Plot? Sure. But when it hit, it hit. And let’s be honest—we all wanted to be in that high school, even if the mortality rate was higher than average.

5. The Magicians
This show is what happens when Harry Potter grows up, joins a therapy group, and starts snorting pixie dust. It’s raw, hilarious, tragic, and just straight-up weird. Magic comes with a price, characters die, trauma is real, and Margo is a goddess. Literally. I still think about some of those musical episodes like they’re burned into my brain.

6. Being Human (UK)
If you missed this one, do yourself a favor and dig it up. It’s a vampire, a ghost, and a werewolf trying to live normal lives while being complete emotional disasters. It’s grimy, heartfelt, and somehow more grounded than most urban fantasy out there. Also, it made me cry over a ghost’s unfinished business, which is not something I expected to type, but here we are.

7. Penny Dreadful
Moody, gothic, and gloriously over-the-top. It felt like someone threw every Victorian monster into a blender and hit shakespearean angst. Eva Green should’ve been knighted for her performance. It’s not urban fantasy in the modern sense, but the spirit is there: monsters hiding behind society’s masks.

🚫 The Misses (aka shows I watched while muttering “You had one job”)

1. The Order
Magic college. Secret societies. Werewolves. Should’ve been awesome. Instead, it was like watching a CW pilot that never fully made it out of beta testing. The concept had so much potential, but the execution felt like someone fell asleep on the plot outline.

2. Charmed (2018 reboot)
Listen. I wanted to like it. I really did. The original Charmed had its own cheese factor, sure, but it worked. This reboot felt like it was trying to be woke and edgy at the same time, but forgot to be fun. Also, did the Book of Shadows get a software update? Because it felt… sterile.

3. Witches of East End
Great cast. Gorgeous visuals. Total snoozefest. It was like someone read the description of urban fantasy out loud but forgot to include the actual magic.

4. Bitten
Werewolves! Canada! A female lead with rage issues! I wanted to love it, but it just didn’t land for me. It lacked bite (pun very much intended). Also, the pacing felt like molasses on a winter morning.

😐 The Middle Zone (aka “almost…but not quite”)

There are shows that hit the vibe but fumble the follow-through. Stuff like Grimm (great concept, kinda boring execution), Lost Girl (sassy and sexy, but plotlines were a hot mess), or The Secret Circle (remember that one? It came and went like a shadow demon with stage fright). These shows lived in the awkward limbo between brilliance and bafflement.

Urban fantasy can be so good when it leans into the messiness of life and magic colliding. I want broken heroes, morally gray choices, and stories that aren’t afraid to get weird. But I also want competent world-building, solid scripts, and characters that feel like people—not exposition delivery devices in tight pants.

Anyway, now that I’ve thoroughly dragged and praised half the paranormal TV landscape, I wanna know: what are your urban fantasy faves? Drop them in the comments, yell at me about Shadowhunters, or whisper them to a stray cat under a full moon. I’ll probably hear you.

Gay Wizards, Vampire Boyfriends, and Why We Need More Than Just Tragic Backstories

By /

Young vampire

So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about gay male characters in urban fantasy, and honestly? We’ve come a long way from the days when the only queer representation was the tragic sidekick who died to motivate the straight hero. But we still have some work to do, you know?

I remember picking up my first urban fantasy novel with a gay protagonist back in college. It was one of those vampire romance things where the guy spent most of the book angsting about his sexuality while fighting demons. Don’t get me wrong, internal conflict is great for character development, but when that’s literally the only personality trait your gay character has, we’ve got a problem.

The thing is, being gay isn’t a personality. It’s just one aspect of who someone is, like being tall or having brown eyes or being obsessed with obscure 80s music. The best gay male protagonists I’ve encountered are the ones who feel like real people first, who happen to be gay, rather than walking stereotypes wrapped in leather jackets.

Take Magnus Bane from Cassandra Clare’s “The Mortal Instruments” series. Sure, he’s flamboyant and dramatic, but he’s also centuries old, incredibly powerful, and has this fascinating relationship with mortality and love. His sexuality informs his character but doesn’t define every single thing about him. Plus, his relationship with Alec actually develops over time instead of being insta-love, which – thank god – feels so much more authentic.

Then there’s Ronan Lynch from Maggie Stiefvater’s “The Raven Cycle.” I love how his sexuality unfolds gradually throughout the series. He’s not introduced as “the gay one” – he’s this complex, angry, dream-manipulating kid dealing with family trauma and his own dangerous powers. When his feelings for Adam surface, it feels organic to his character rather than tacked on for representation points.

Movies have been hit or miss on this front. I loved “The Old Guard” because Joe and Nicky’s relationship spans centuries, and their love story is epic without being tragic. They’re immortal warriors who’ve been together for almost a thousand years, and their dynamic feels lived-in and real. Marwan Kenzari and Luca Marinelli had such natural chemistry that you completely bought their ancient love story.

But then you get films like some of the earlier superhero movies where gay characters were either villains coded with negative stereotypes or completely absent. It’s frustrating because urban fantasy is literally about hidden worlds and secret identities – metaphors that resonate deeply with queer experiences.

What I really want to see more of are gay male protagonists who get to be heroes of their own stories without their sexuality being either their greatest weakness or their most interesting trait. Give me the gay wizard who’s terrible at spell components but brilliant at strategy. The vampire hunter who’s been in a happy relationship for fifty years and whose biggest conflict is whether to adopt a hellhound puppy.

I think about characters like Simon Snow from Rainbow Rowell’s series – he’s awkward and powerful and sometimes makes terrible decisions, and his relationship with Baz is just one part of his larger journey. Or even going back to older works, Mercedes Lackey’s Vanyel from the “Last Herald-Mage” trilogy was groundbreaking for having a gay protagonist in epic fantasy back in the late 80s, even if some aspects feel dated now.

The urban fantasy genre has this amazing opportunity to explore queer experiences through metaphor – shapeshifters dealing with identity, magic users hiding their true nature, found families of supernatural beings. When writers really lean into those parallels without making them heavy-handed, the stories sing.

I’m seeing more authors getting this right lately. TJ Klune’s “The House in the Cerulean Sea” gave us Linus Baker, a caseworker for magical youth who finds love and family in the most unexpected place. The book is sweet without being saccharine, and Linus feels like a real person dealing with real problems, not a collection of gay stereotypes.

What excites me most is seeing younger writers who grew up with better representation creating even more nuanced characters. They’re writing gay male protagonists who are allowed to be funny, heroic, flawed, powerful, vulnerable – the full spectrum of human experience.

We’re moving beyond the era of tragic gays and stereotypical villains, and honestly, it’s about time. Give me more gay heroes who save the world, fall in love, adopt magical creatures, and occasionally burn dinner while trying to master ancient spells. That’s the kind of representation that feels real and meaningful.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on this rainy Tuesday afternoon. What do you think? Got any favorite gay male protagonists in urban fantasy I should check out?
