So I’ve been working on an OP/ED to be published by Publisher’s Weekly during their annual Father’s Day issue about ‘daddy lit.’ Or, rather, the lack of it. What had started out as a calling the publishing industry out for a lack of good novels about fatherhood, has sort-of morphed into something else: an invitation to fathers who are authors to write about fatherhood.
In doing this article, I started to collect some information from people. I asked various wonderful people (mostly dads), these questions:
- Would you read a novel where the main character is an at-home or involved father?
- What does the phrase ‘daddy lit’ bring to mind?
- What are some of your favorite books (nonfiction or fiction) by/about fatherhood?
- Is there are a particular author you would like to see write about fatherhood?
If you would like, either comment below with your answers or email them to me at theraymondmrose (at) gmail.com. Include who you are, what you do, and where on the internet you might be found.
I really do!
