Andrew Reynolds is an author whose work delves into the true lives of remarkable people outside of the mainstream of society.

His new book, Hobey and Percy, will be published by Simon and Schuster in 2027. Telling the story of Hobey Baker and Percy Pyne, it is an epic saga of the gilded age, sporting celebrity, high society and World War One pilots, wrapped up in a queer love story that challenges what we know of gay love in pre-war America.

A Professor for over thirty years, Reynolds explores the intersections of politics, identity, and representation. Before turning to more popular books, he was best known for The Children of Harvey Milk (Oxford, 2018), which was a groundbreaking exploration of LGBTQ+ political leaders and the global struggle for equality. Through compelling narratives and rigorous research, Reynolds sheds light on how personal courage and collective action shape our political landscape. 

Beyond his popular writing, Reynolds has authored and edited twelve books on democratization, electoral systems, and human rights, influencing both scholarly debate and public policy. He has served as an advisor on electoral and constitutional design in over thirty countries, including Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, Guyana, Indonesia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Libya, Nepal, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. He remains a passionate advocate for inclusive democracy.
