About Jo Morgan Sloan

Jo Morgan Sloan is a Colorado native and a California transplant. He has been actively writing fiction and nonfiction since late 2013.

​

As part of the writing process, Jo has dedicated many hours of research in the psychology and healing of sexual assault survivors, PTSD, Narcissistic and Borderline personality disorders, LGBTQA+ community issues, and sign language. He is well-versed in Norse mythology, Marvel comics, Dungeons and Dragons, the American health care system (as a provider and patient), orchids, tarantulas, and much more.

​

Apart from his work as an author, Jo serves his local community as a doctor of Audiology, though his trans status is not widely known. He is an oft-requested guest speaker and instructor for a variety of topics relating to audiology and other passions. Public speaking is his strength.

​

Jo is a musician, an artist, a mother, a spouse, and a sibling to one incredible sister. He is a survivor of suicide loss. Jo also lives with a myriad of "invisible diseases" that impact his everyday life. Though some of his struggles are debilitating, he is grateful for all the things he is fully capable of.

​

While several aspects of Jo's life are intensely personal, he is a pansexual trans man early in transition (don't panic over pronouns, though he/him is preferred). Any and all representations of LGBTQA+ characters are brought to life through his own experiences and/or heavy interviewing. He has no intent to present characters different from his personal identification in a disrespectful or ignorant manner, and he frequently seeks clarification to increase his understanding and stay current with labels and/or social issues.

​

While Jo writes across all physical pairings, any marginalized characters (particularly LGBTQA+) found in his content are created alongside people who identify as those characters do, and as such, co-authors may be listed in such cases. He will not take up space in the publishing world where stories may be more appropriately told by OWNVoice content creators.

​

Morgan uses writing as a way to explore who he is, and as a way to cope with life's many curveballs. He sincerely hopes anyone who reads his content will find hope, comfort, positive relatability, and will know they aren't alone.

​

His motto is, "I'm a fixer, not a fusser."
