Tough Love: Boys, Books and Romance
4 Extra Debut. Young adult fiction author Steven Camden, investigates why there are so few love stories for teenage boys. From 2017.
Steven Camden writes young adult fiction books about love, from a male perspective.
Love is at the heart of all the stories he鈥檚 written - but he鈥檚 only just realised it.
He's also realised that being a man who writes love stories for boys is pretty unusual.
Is love not a subject that appeals to boys, or is it the books part that puts them off?
Steven meets potential teen readers and talks to fellow authors Chris Vick and Alex Wheatle, along with mental health campaigner Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks.
Producer: Milly Chowles
