Out Today: The Audiobook of Being Emily!

Listen to an uplifting and optimistic trans classic on Libro.fm, Audible, Audiobooks.com, and other audiobook vendors today.

My first published novel, Being Emily, has now been adapted to audio! In the decade since its release, this groundbreaking transgender young adult novel has garnered praise from critics and trans girls everywhere. I am beyond excited to have the wonderful nonbinary narrator Nicky Endres use their talents to bring Emily to life in a way that’s never happened before. If you’ve read Being Emily already, this is a great way to experience the story in a new light. If you’ve never read the book, Endres’ narration provides a fantastic immersion into Emily’s world.

From the back jacket of the book:

They say that whoever you are it’s okay, you were born that way. Those words don’t comfort Emily, because she was born Christopher and her insides know that her outsides are all wrong.

They say that it gets better, be who are you and it’ll be fine. For Emily, telling her parents who she really is means a therapist who insists Christopher is normal and Emily is sick. Telling her girlfriend means lectures about how God doesn’t make that kind of mistake.

Emily desperately wants high school in her small Minnesota town to get better. She wants to be the woman she knows is inside, but it’s not until a substitute therapist and a girl named Natalie come into her life that she believes she has a chance of actually Being Emily.

A story for anyone who has ever felt that the inside and outside don’t match and no one else will understand…
