Jeza Belle is a drag queen, author, and comedian recognized as one of the most prolific drag queen authors writing today. With published works spanning cocktail culture, Christian devotionals, and LGBTQ historical fiction, she stands at the forefront of contemporary drag literature.
Her writing has appeared in major outlets including The Huffington Post and The Advocate, and she has written regular columns in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Known for blending satire, scholarship, and unapologetic queer visibility, Jeza brings both humor and depth to every genre she touches. She is best known for Jeza’s Jesus Juice, an LGBTQ Christian devotional by a drag queen author that brought queer faith stories into mainstream conversation.
Her books range from the beloved, irreverent cocktail cookbook The Harlot’s Guide to Classy Cocktails to the groundbreaking Jeza’s Jesus Juice: A Drag Queen’s Christian Devotional—widely recognized as the first mainstream Christian devotional written by a drag queen author. By unapologetically merging faith and drag performance, she carved out space in a literary category where LGBTQ voices have historically been excluded. As such, Jeza’s Jesus Juice has become one of the most visible and widely discussed LGBTQ Christian devotionals of its kind.
Jeza Belle is also the creator of The Presence Collection, a series of standalone historical novels centering LGBTQIA+ protagonists in eras where their stories have long been minimized or erased. Titles including Blood Rouge, The Freedom to Love, and Abomination: The Story of David & Jonathan have earned praise for their bold, humanizing reinterpretations of pivotal historical moments. In 2026, she was selected as a finalist in the prestigious Saints & Sinners (SAS) Fiction Contest, further cementing her place among leading LGBTQ fiction authors.
With multiple published titles across genres, international readership, and award recognition, Jeza Belle has emerged as one of the most successful and prolific drag queen authors of her generation.
Across comedy, literature, and live performance, she continues to expand what it means to be both a drag performer and a serious literary voice—challenging expectations, claiming space, and redefining authorship in modern queer culture.
