Stephen Graham Launches Global 'Letters to Our Sons' Call for Fathers' Letters

Bloomsbury frames the collection as a social intervention with submissions open until 12 January 2026.

Overview

  • Fathers worldwide can submit letters via the project website from 15 October 2025, with optional anonymity, prompts for guidance, and no writing experience required.
  • Selected entries will appear alongside contributions from Stephen Graham and other well-known voices in a curated anthology.
  • Bloomsbury plans to publish Letters to Our Sons in October 2026 and describes the effort as having potential to drive broader cultural change.
  • For every letter published, organisers will donate to MANUP? and Dad La Soul, with Bloomsbury also pledging an additional donation to MANUP?.
  • Graham developed the project with psychologist Orly Klein, drawing on the public response to Netflix’s Adolescence and on Klein’s earlier letter-writing experiment for her son.
