The author speaks to EW about the journey from an advice column on Grindr to his first published book.
John Paul Brammer has always wanted to write books.

“What would it look like if this book itself was a letter to my readers?
“How untrustworthy narrators we can be when it comes to traumatic or foundational experiences,” he notes.
“I hope the book totally rearranges the relationship between me and my readers,” he says.
Over the course of writing his advice column, Brammer also became interested in the format’s history.
“And it won’t be a bad thing.
It’ll just be a different thing.”
