Letters To Our Sons: Get involved!

December 4 2025

An era-defining book on fathers and sons needs your contributions. Closing date 12th January 2026

Following the response he received from the global TV phenomenon Adolescence, Stephen Graham would love your help in continuing the conversation between fathers and their sons. Together with psychology lecturer Orly Klein, they are calling on dads to write a letter to their sons about what matters most to them about fatherhood, being a man and the lessons you want to pass down to them. There’s no right or wrong way. Here are Stephen and Orly to introduce the project.

‘We would love to hear from fathers everywhere who want to tell their sons what it means to them to be a father and pass on some pearls of wisdom’ (Stephen Graham and Orly Klein)

Letters must be submitted via the online portal, by 12 January 2026. You can find the Terms and Conditions, more guidance and dyslexia friendly versions on the Bloomsbury website.

‘After the huge impact of Adolescence, it was clear there was a greater need for communication between fathers and sons. Arguably, there was an even bigger disconnect than ever before and we would love to help create more opportunity for fathers to say the things often left unsaid.’ (Stephen Graham and Orly Klein)
