Sydney Langford will be at Beaumont on October 16 at 6 P.M.

Sydney Langford (they/them) is a queer, Deaf-Hard of Hearing, and physically disabled author living in Portland, Oregon. When not singing musical theater songs or playing with their dogs, they are passionate about writing stories that celebrate inclusivity and the diverse experiences of queer and disabled teens. The Loudest Silence is their debut novel. You can find Sydney on social media @slangwrites, or visit their website at slangwrites.com.

​​

Told in two voices, The Loudest Silence follows the friendship between queer teens Casey, a singer who is grappling with sudden hearing loss, and soccer captain Hayden, whose Generalized Anxiety Disorder weighs on his every move, after they bond over their shared dream of a music career.
