New Book On Fathers Of Trans Children

I was asked by a mutual on Twitter to help write a book from the perspectives of fathers who raise trans children, as he is one. We both agreed that mothers are usually the ones who are showcased in these situations, or are the ones who are the supportive figure of the two parental units. I rarely hear of fathers dealing with this, or ones who may have had issues dealing with it but now they’re ultra supportive, or whatever. I know there are a few popular ones on IG and other social media, which is great, but I also know there are a ton more out there who might have something to say.

So here’s the deal. I need stories. I’m going to include his, of course, but I need submissions. As of now I can’t promise any reimbursements, but that could potentially be worked out at a later date. I guess it depends on how much the book sells. As of now this is a volunteer thing.

This is to be a supportive guide for other fathers who may be in that position and aren’t quite sure how to feel about it, or who may have questions and aren’t sure where to look for answers. Hopefully the stories in this book will be the guiding light for someone.

If you or someone you know is a father of a trans child who may be interested in sharing their story, have them contact me (email below) and I’ll get back to them as soon as I can. I’m currently working on all the questions I might want to ask, so we are in the very beginning stages. This will be a process and will take time.

Lastly, if you want to remain anonymous, that is more than fine. We’re just looking for your story, those kinds of details aren’t necessary.

If you want to go ahead and send whatever you want to tell, please do. If I have any follow up questions I’ll reach out. Otherwise, right now I’m just interested in getting anyone who wants to participates email info for future correspondence about the book. Please, if interested, drop me a line at mattrobertsfiction@gmail.com. I never thought I’d write a non-fiction book so that’s the email I chose lol.

Thanks to all who would like to participate!
