Christopher and I are putting finishing touches on the book and we need some kids for our Boys Panel. Know anyone? Details about our book, our progress and what to do next are below. So excited to share this book with all of you - and looking forward to resuming Substack newsletters once the manuscript is in. -

Hi readers - could you please help us to sharing this message with a boy (or a group of boys) in your life? Thank you so much! — CP + JS

Are you a boy/young man between 10-22 years old? We want to hear from you!

  • Hi! We're authors Joanna Schroeder and Christopher Pepper, and we are writing a new book called TALK TO YOUR BOYS. We want to help adults have more meaningful conversations with the boys and young men in their lives. 

  • We really want to get things right, so we are inviting boys and young men to speak for themselves as part of our Talk To Your Boys experts' panel. 

  • We are working to identify a diverse group of boys who are interested in sharing their thoughts with us. 

What's In It For You: 

  • Your ideas may be featured in a published book - something you could highlight in future college or job applications. 

  • We'll send a free copy of the Talk To Your Boys book to everyone whose comments are included in the book. 

  • Joanna and Christopher will write recommendation letters for any boy whose comments are included in the book. 

  •  You'll be on our contact list for future leadership programs and speaking opportunities. 

  • You'll have our eternal thanks, and you'll be helping make the world better for boys! 

  • As a thank you for your time, everyone who submits an answer will be entered into a drawing for one of five $40 Target gift cards.

Here's how it works:

  • You provide your email address, and we'll send you questions related to the topics that we're writing about (things like stress, consent, fighting, dating, and money). 

  • You send us answers, and your voice and ideas may be included in the book.

What about privacy? 

  • We're committed to keeping your answers private - we'll only quote you with your first name, and you can use a different name if you would like. 

  • This information will be utilized by authors Joanna Schroeder & Christopher Pepper for the purposes of writing their book and related materials. This information will never be sold, shared or utilized for non-TTYB marketing purposes, nor will this information be made public.
    (Exception: As a teacher in the state of California, Mr. Pepper is a 'mandatory reporter' and will follow state guidelines in a situation where a child is the victim of abuse or neglect. The sole goal is to ensure the safety of the child in question, with no details of the situation being made public except to necessary adult parties.)

OK, I'm interested! What Do I Do Now? 

  • Fill out this Google Form to let us know you're interested, and we'll follow up from there!
