Tough Love: Boys, Books and Romance

Available for over a year

Steven Camden writes young adult fiction books about love, from a male perspective. Love is at the heart of all the stories he’s written - but he’s 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 A Somethin’ Else production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2017.
