You Throw Like a Girl (eBook, ePUB)

The Blind Spot of Masculinity

Beschreibung

Since launching Dave Zirin's Edge of Sports imprint in 2016, we have had some great successes with these nonfiction sports books.

In the era of movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp, You Throw Like a Girl couldn't be a more timely addition to this important national conversation.

As noted in McPherson's long-form bio, this former All-American college quarterback, NFL, and Canadian Football league player has conducted workshops and lectures at more than 250 college campuses, community organizations, and sports and violence-prevention organizations, reaching more than 1 million people.

McPherson has appeared numerous times on major TV networks, including CNN, ESPN, BET, and NBC; he also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show

Imprint curator, Zirin, has authored numerous books that have sold very well and he will be instrumental in promoting the book with us.

In addition to the sports media connections we've made through previous releases on the Edge of Sports imprint, we will rely greatly on Zirin's and McPherson's connections.
