I’m so glad that my first book is out in the world! I accepted a publishing offer from Seal Press for Equally Wed: The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your LGBTQ+ Wedding in early 2016, and I finished the manuscript in August 2016. (I wrote the book proposal for it and found an agent in 2015, just after the United States of America was afforded full marriage equality on June 26, 2015. It was time, I figured, that we get our own wedding book. Our community is consistently looked upon as other, marginalized especially in the wedding industry. Homophobia and transphobia is rampant, and we deserve better. I’m going to cut myself off before I really get going.
Because you could just read my book, a review of my book on A Practical Wedding, my essay for Huffington Post or my reported essay on Washington Post to get a feeling for why I wrote the book that I did and why it’s needed.
To read, listen and watch what other people are saying (or inviting me to say in their forums) about Equally Wed, check out the list below.
