Publisher's summary

Craig Stewart is one of America's most gifted writers. His work debuted on stage in Atlanta with A Day in the Life, wowing sold out audiences and critics alike. Stewart's highly anticipated memoir, Words Never Spoken, was released in 2012.

Praised as one of Stewart's most revealing and personal works yet, Words Never Spoken details his journey as a songwriter, entrepreneur, and playwright, and his self-discovery as a gay Black man living in Atlanta. Stewart writes candidly about his private conversations with media mogul Tyler Perry, and why Perry dubbed Stewart's work brilliant, but opted not to help him.

Stewart also pulls us through the rise and fall of his musical relationship with Grammy award-winning recording artist Brandy Norwood. Stewart's story is as clean and crisp as the early works of the late E. Lynn Harris, but destined for a lane of its own because of its nuanced richness.

Words Never Spoken reads like a diary that was never intended for the eyes of anyone other than its author. Stewart opens up about his struggles with love, friendships, and a two-year bout with depression that led to an Internet sex addiction.

An amazing read!

What made the experience of listening to Words Never Spoken the most enjoyable?

The author himself reading the book. It came across like listening to a story from someone and they have you hanging on every word.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was Craig because I could relate to the feelings, issues and things he went through. He is classy, intelligent and confident

What does Craig Stewart bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice. The tones and inflections of his voice draw you in and really make you feel his heart.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, in fact, it only took me two days to listen to the whole book. I was upset when I got to the end.

Any additional comments?

This book is simply amazing. It take you back in time and walks you through Stewart's transformation. Listening and/or reading this book is a MUST!! You won't be the same after reading it and there is information within it to help you change for the better. I have never been so happy with a book in my life.

The transparency, of standing in your truth & reality. Wanting to find real love.

Wanted more of story, which it ended better. I despise Nina just by you speaking on her.

A Must Read!

I was first introduced to Craig via TS Madison on her YouTube show. I recently had the pleasure to finally meet him in person last month in Atlanta and he is very sweet but I digress..

I enjoyed this book thoroughly and it had some great advice, laughable moments and I loved the perspective from a gay man as I am a straight woman. He challenges you to think logically and he doesn't sugarcoat anything. I appreciate his authenticity while still trying to be of service to others.

If you're a fan of his definitely check out this book and I will be sure to add his other books to my library.
