Without representation, it can be much harder for LGBTQIA people to discover their sexuality and gender identities, and to flourish within those identities. Realizing that there is a word which represents some aspect of who you are is a pivotal experience! Pansexual people deserve to be given that experience more readily. One way to accomplish that would be through books with pansexual main characters. The following books feature prominent characters who are explicitly pansexual. Hopefully many more books with pansexual main characters will be published in the future. The ideal type of queer representation is Own Voices representation, wherein the author is writing from their own lived experience. That said, sexual orientation (as well as gender identity) can be a private matter, and can change over time. I was unable to find out definitively if any of the authors on this list are pansexual.
