The definitive collection of art, poetry, and prose, celebrating fat acceptance

Chubby. Curvy. Fluffy. Plus-size. Thick. Fat. The time has come for fat people to tell their own stories. The (Other) F Word combines the voices of Renée Watson, Julie Murphy, Jes Baker, Samantha Irby, Bruce Sturgell, and more in a relatable and gift-worthy guide about body image and fat acceptance. This dazzling collection of art, poetry, essays, and fashion tips is meant for people of all sizes who desire to be seen and heard in a culture consumed by a narrow definition of beauty.

By combining the talents of renowned fat YA and middle-grade authors, as well as fat influencers and creators, The (Other) F Word offers teen readers and activists of all ages a tool for navigating our world with confidence and courage.

Industry Reviews

"Fat adults will wish they'd had this book growing up, and fat teens will finally feel seen. Frank and fabulous."
Kirkus Reviews

"With a collective message that your body is yours, and no one can say anything about it without your permission, the smart, funny, sometimes heartbreaking contributions will give much needed support to those who feel beleaguered by our pervasively fat-phobic culture."
