Welcome to Deaf Magic & Magnifiers
Let’s dive into mysteries, spark some magic, and celebrate the extraordinary—together.
About US
At Deaf Magic & Magnifiers, we celebrate the power of storytelling that places Deaf and Disabled heroes at the heart of fantasy, sci-fi, and mystery worlds. This platform is dedicated to uplifting authentic representation—especially for young readers who deserve to see themselves reflected in the adventures they dream about.
We believe that magic belongs to everyone—and that includes the magic of being seen, heard, and valued in the stories we tell.
Why These Stories Matter
The main characters in my books are Deaf teens and youth of color, including DeafBlind and DeafDisabled folx. They’re unapologetically themselves—queer, disabled, and beautifully intersectional—because representation matters. These stories highlight the magic in community, identity, and embracing your truth.
Whether you’re a teen seeking characters who reflect your world, a family looking for inclusive reads, or a fan of magic, mystery, and a little bit of whoa, you’ll find something to love here.
Meet the Author
N.A. Johns
DeafDisabled storyteller creating adventures that entertain, inspire, and represent.
My books weave together fantasy, Afrofuturistic sci-fi, magic, and mystery—with a deep commitment to showcasing authentic, diverse, and intersectional experiences.
Growing up, I devoured books by authors like R.L. Stine, Walter Mosley, Tananarive Due, Christopher Pike, and Octavia Butler. Mysteries hooked me—I loved unraveling twists and chasing the thrill of the unknown. Sci-fi opened up entire universes where my imagination could soar—maybe because I struggled with science in school, but in these worlds, I could go beyond whoa! And horror? I'm obsessed. One day, I’ll write a horror book that’ll leave you breathless.
From enchanted realms to real-world puzzles, my stories spotlight Deaf teens leading the charge. They’re bold, resourceful, and unafraid to break stereotypes as they uncover secrets and navigate complex worlds. Justice work—whether set in a classical fantasy, a post-apocalyptic future, or an uncharted dimension—is the heartbeat of what I write. It’s my core, my soul, and what drives me as a creator.
Our Mission
To unlock the secrets and ignite the magic of inclusive storytelling—one tale at a time. We champion stories that reflect the depth, diversity, and brilliance of Deaf, DeafBlind, Disabled, and chronically ill communities of all identities.
Explore. Imagine. Belong.
With pride,
N.A. Johns
