Welcome to Book Trigger Warnings, a site dedicated to helping readers find books that are safer for them.

Our site is very new and as such, a lot of triggers have not yet been added. This site was created as a wiki in order to allow everyone in the Book Community to contribute to our efforts. If you are familiar with triggers/tropes/controversies for a specific book, please add them here!

This is a community wiki and as such, SOME TRIGGERS WILL BE MISSED. We are not medical/psychological professionals and do not claim that our pages are complete or accurate. Just because a book "looks safe" for you on our site does not guarantee that it is. Please read our Disclaimers page for more information.

To find a book's page, simply search the title or author in the search bar above. Alternatively, you can look at the alphabetical master list of all pages here. If a page has not yet been created, you are encouraged to create one using the following steps below.

If you're looking for pages that have a specific trigger warning listed, you can search it using the above search bar. For example, if you're looking for books with car accidents in them, you could search "car accident".

Note: To create/edit a page, you need to first create an account. This is to minimize spam and deter people with malicious intent.
