I MADE A book!
I've worked with Dr. Angela Farr Schiller and Dr. Lindsey Mantoan to compile The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays, a first-of-its-kind anthology. We set out to gather eight trans plays by trans writers with trans characters; it's time for us to tell our own stories. Now, you'll be able to pick it up from Methuen / Bloomsbury in May 2021! Learn more and pre-order it here.
