This is an incomplete bibliography of Leo Skir's writing, including under pseudonyms. It is divided by type. When Skir uses his own name, it is omitted in the bibliographic citation. In general, collations of material (e.g., textbooks which excerpt his work) are not included unless he specifically sought their inclusion.

Items marked ✱ have not been personally verified, but are thought to exist based on Skir's own bibliographies assembled throughout his life, referenced in archival materials, or cited elsewhere. Items marked + are in my personal collection. Page ranges marked with highlight are unconfirmed.

Note that items marked ✱ may have incorrect titles. When assembling his own bibliographies of play and book reviews, he often listed the reviewed item's title rather than the title of the actual review.

    [Edited version of A5.]

    [According to an advertisement by Elysian Fields, circa 1981, they were able to "track[] down a long-misplaced publisher's consignment" of the novel and began making "copies available to our customers at the original 1971 price." The cover features the portrait of a different boy than either the Winter House or Belmont/Tower editions, while the cover's text reads "BOYCHICK / In the confused, tortured world of the homosexual, Leo embarks upon his own emotional destruction with astonishing enthusiasm. / Leo Skir." I have been unable to verify the existence of this book, outside of its appearance in a publisher's gazette, and so it is not officially listed here.]

This list is necessarily incomplete.

Beyond those that were collected by Skir himself or have been stumbled upon in my search for his writing, many works in those venues have likely not been catalogued.
