152. I Have A Gay Dad. Alison Wearing

What does it feel like right before you come out? Especially, when you are married and have kids to tell that you are gay. Alison writes the story of her daddy coming out, her mom’s response, and what the neighbors thought. What happens a generation later when grandpa is gay? What gets released? What does freedom offer? What’s the process of character development? Find out how she changed it from her story to a story that happened to her. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.

Alison is a bestselling, multiple award-winning writer, playwright and performer. Her first book, Honeymoon in Purdah, became a national bestseller and was published in seven countries. Confessions of a Fairy's Daughter is both a memoir and a solo play. The book was nominated for the RBC Taylor Prize, shortlisted for the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Nonfiction, named an Indigo Top 50 Pick, and became a national bestseller. The play’s numerous awards include Best Dramatic Script at New York City’s United Solo, the largest festival of solo theatre in the world.

Alison’s new book, Moments of Glad Grace, has been heralded as "a wise, funny, and tender book, beautifully written and perfectly executed from first to last sentence" by Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi.

Alison is also the creator/facilitator of Memoir Writing Ink., an online program that guides people through the process of transforming personal stories into memoir. She lives in Canada.
