Big news! If you love heartwarming dad-daughter stories, I got a little something for you. Couldn't possibly be more excited to reveal the cover for my debut novel Dad Camp. June 11, 2024 from @DuttonBooks
Congrats Jill!!! This book is fantastic — it reminded me of that cool Christian Bale movie 'Equilibrium' but without the goofy geometry duels. Jill flexes her prose so hard in this novel and creates a world I am dying to see more of.
Go get your copy!
I shouted out some of my faves that have been killing it for a while including @TheNormanNation @richardroper @Jtropper and more -- but I somehow forgot to mention the GOAT David Nicholls
Wrote about a wild & exciting pub month for my debut novel Dad Camp, trying to be as honest as I can about all the highs and lows - wordsbyevanporter.com/debut-…
My debut novel comes out in 12 days 😱 Here's my last pre-pub update on what's been going on. wordsbyevanporter.com/1-mont…
It's here!
Can't wait for you all to see the final hardcover in person. What a gorgeous design. All of my thanks to the production and art teams at @DuttonBooks / @penguinrandom
Movie trailer voice: "This summer... Dad. Comes. HOME."
Eh kinda weird, but I'm INCREDIBLY excited to celebrate Dad Camp in my hometown of Baltimore with @TheNormanNation at @TheIvyBookshop . Come out and say Hey and let's grab a Boh!
It's been 560+ days since I got my debut book deal. Only 31 left until Dad Camp actually hits shelves. Nuts!
If you want a signed copy of my book Dad Camp, you can pre-order one through @FoxTale ! Come get it in person on 6/15 or they can send you one. I'll write anything you want in the personalization, and I mean anything. Link in bio!
"My book comes out next month" sounds insane. Here's what's been happening with Dad Camp & why being on the precipice of achieving a lifelong dream is kind of a mixed bag of emotions. wordsbyevanporter.com/2-mont…
You've still got the rest of the day to win a copy of Dad Camp and be done your Father's Day shopping in about 30 seconds. Enter here: goodreads.com/giveaway/enter…
Connecting with other debut authors is the best part of being a debut author. Thank you to Hillary Yablon ("Sylvia's Second Act") for reading and blurbing Dad Camp 😃

If you cried over Bluey's "The Sign" can I interest you in a novel about the pain of your children growing up, the inevitability of change, and feeling mortal
.@ConanOBrien has been the funniest person on the planet for decades, y'all are just catching up. Late Night was basically just putting him in fun places like wineries or Italy and letting him go nuts and play. Comedic gold every single time.
Richard Roper (@richardroper) is the author of some of the warmest, funniest & most moving novels around — also one of the OG Dad Camp supporters! Thanks Richard.
