LETTERS TO OUR SONS an era-defining book on fathers and sons - submit your letters

LETTERS TO OUR SONS

‘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

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 you, the dads, to write a letter to your sons about what matters most to you about fatherhood, being a man and the lessons you want to pass down to them. There’s no right or wrong way.

Selected letters will be published in Letters to Our Sons, a landmark book from Bloomsbury coming out in October 2026.

We would love your support in sharing this opportunity so that fathers across the globe submit their letters to Bloomsbury by 12 January 2026. Carefully read the terms and conditions.

‘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
