J.Q. Gagliastro is the bestselling author and illustrator of The Diary of a Sugarbaby and Mercury to the Moon. Mercury to the Moon is a fantasy adventure novel for all reading ages, illustrated entirely by Gagliastro. The Los Angeles Book Review hailed Mercury to the Moon as "an imaginative triumph!" Mercury to the Moon is a #1 bestseller in Young Adult Fiction, Magical Realism, and Alien Sci-Fi. The Diary of a Sugarbaby is a #1 bestseller in LGBTQ+ Fiction, Dystopian Fiction, Epistolary Fiction, and Political Fiction. NYC's Queer Book Club selected The Diary of a Sugarbaby as their October 2024 book. An instructor at the University of Florida and University of Wisconsin shortlisted The Diary of a Sugarbaby as required text for their queer studies programs. The Diary of a Sugarbaby was a 2023 finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards in Adult Fiction. The Manhattan Book Review called The Diary of a Sugarbaby "The Handmaid's Tale on steroids!" (Gagliastro prefers to call it The Handmaid's Tale but through a queer lens.) Kirkus Reviews called The Diary of a Sugarbaby "a frightening novel about an unthinkable future!" While The Diary of a Sugarbaby is fiction, Gagliastro ties in his experiences as a homeless youth and twists them into a dramatic political satire. Mercury to the Moon confronts themes of sibling abandonment, forgiveness, queerness, international relations, and teenage friendships.
