Munroe Bergdorf’s Six-Figure Book Deal
Munroe Bergdorf’s manifesto went to Bloomsbury, to be published in 2021, after an 11-publishers bidding war! Transitional will explore adolescence, sexuality, gender, relationships, identity and race. As explained by the English activist and model, “The trans experience, she said, is ‘thought of by a lot of people as this far-off idea that isn’t that relatable. I wanted to drive home the fact that we all transition in one way or another. None of us stays the same. We’re all on a journey, and a transition with regards to gender is just one of many we all experience as human beings.’”
