It Gets Better, the world's largest effort to empower LGBTQ+ youth, today announced the release of its first book in nearly 13 years. Queerbook is a collection of short stories, artwork, poetry, photography, essays, and more — created and curated entirely by LGBTQ+ youth. The organization previously released the 2011 New York Times bestseller It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living. A limited run of Queerbook is now available exclusively through It Gets Better's website, ItGetsBetter.org/shop/.
Whereas It Gets Better's previous book release primarily featured adults sharing messages of support with LGBTQ+ teens, Queerbook is entirely "for queer youth, by queer youth" and was even curated and edited by the organization's Youth Voices — 10 LGBTQ+ student ambassadors from across the country.
Preparation for Queerbook began in Fall 2023. It Gets Better...The post It Gets Better Announces Publication of Queerbook, Follow Up to Its 2011 Best Seller appeared first on Gay LGBTQ Media and Press Network.
