Boys INSIDE books
When a community gathers together and shares their stories, a lot of healing can happen.
I created this space to give gay and queer men a safe place to explore their identity...and hopefully gain some therapeutic insight. Having always enjoyed reading and writing myself, the idea for a group started as a book club on Twitter in August 2020, intended to celebrate our own voices. Discussing authors we didn't know personally ended up an icebreaker, and after a few months, our trust grew enough to begin including our own published works for monthly selections.
Finding success in open critique, I also noticed how refreshing it was to hear other perspectives, interpretations, and ultimately, the varied digestions of similar upbringing and coming-of-age experiences. It helped me heal so much of what I never knew lay hidden in accepting my own sexuality and its implications. And after over a year, I realized I wanted to give as many men possible the same chances for camaraderie, understanding, and wholeness.
Now, I invite you to join me as I expand the tools and services offered by Boys Inside Books. Whether you follow a book club for peer dialogue or self-reflection, need professional assistance in crafting or editing your own writing, want a review of completed queer work, or have interest in private wellness coaching, I hope you can find a home here and share your life at any age.
Let's unpack the children within us in honest storytelling: the boys inside our books!
