How To Tell Your LGBTQ+ Story: Tell Your LGBTQ+ Story

Are you LGBTQ+?


Have you ever thought of writing and publishing a book about your life? Or an incredible episode or even one astonishing moment from it?

What exactly does that involve and where do you start?


For LGBTQ+ people, sharing our life experiences is vital in letting others know they are not alone.


Writing my first gay non-fiction book and telling my coming out story opened up a whole new world to me. Several books later, and having self-published them all, I want to help other LGBTQ+ writers like you to do the same.

How to: Tell Your LGBTQ+ Story will show you how to navigate what can seem like an impenetrable jungle of obstacles and new skills to learn to get your book published. It is not.


You just need a guide, and here it is.
