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.

Gay-TL Unicorn: A Horse with a Dream

Craig's story telling in this audiobook is amazing! I didn't want to turn it off. He unravels and dissects the complexity of young people with aspirations who come to Atlanta (known as the "Gateway to the South" and the mecca of Black LGBTQIA self-discovery and exploration) chasing status, love, community, and dreams. Sadly, most gifted people in the life who come to the "city of dreams" end up stressed, homeless, destitute, while struggling with addictions and/or compromised health due to indulgence in the sex crazed underground culture of Atlanta living. Craig thoughtfully explores how the excitement and whimsy of the Atlanta LGBTQIA nightlife can be the undoing of those who arrive broken and willing to do anything to chase attention, acceptance, and adoration, which is the unicorn that all of humanity chases, thus making this labor of love a mirror for mankind and an olive branch for straight and gay people to find common ground and align.

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.
