PRESS RELEASE

Trigger Publishing has signed a 'landmark' wellness title by coach and mentor Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt.

Still Here! Still Queer! Now What?: A Guide to LGBTQ+ Wellness and Wholeness will be a self help book for mid-life queer people. Soraya Nair bought world rights from Abi Fellows at DHH Literary Agency, for publication in October 2025.

The book will draw on interviews with almost 100 middle-aged people from across the LGBTQ+ community, and will blend techniques from coaching, psychology, philosophy, art, culture and queer magic. It is designed 'to create a practical process for re-connecting people to their queer wholeness'.

Taylor-Pitt said: "This book is a portrait of courage, resilience and authenticity. It is a love letter to those who helped us live more truthfully. It is a tribute to the first generation of people who have been able to live fully and wholly ourselves, despite exclusion, misunderstanding and rejection. Above all, the book is a call to action and invitation for us to remember and reclaim the power and wholeness that have always been inside us. It is a promise of hope that we might find ways to thrive into our elderhood. This is not just a book, it is a celebration that we are still here, still queer and have the chance to live with renewed purpose and pride."

Nair said: "I am thrilled to have signed Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt's upcoming book, Still Here! Still Queer! Now What?, for Trigger Publishing. It's going to be a great self-help book for mid-life queer people from all sectors of the LGBTQIA+ community. Thank you Paul and Abi Fellows for entrusting Trigger with this project."

Fellows said: “I am so proud to be associated with this vital book and hugely excited about all the people that people it will help."

ABOUT THE BOOK

ABOUT THE BOOK

Still Here! Still Queer! Now What? is a self-help toolkit for LGBTQ+ people who are well into adulthood, but still seek support and inspiration to live as the most vibrant, vivid expression of themselves.

There are some great resources for young people who identify as LGBTQ+, but there is a notable lack of support for those who have reached mid-life. Still Here! Still Queer! Now What? bridges this divide, providing readers with a toolkit so they can stand in the power of their wholeness, celebrate who they are, become who they want to be and even change the world for the better. 

Experienced coach and development practitioner Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt provides guidance drawn from psychology, philosophy, art and culture, his experience, and the experiences of others, which he has gathered from face-to-face interviews. Altogether, this gives readers a practical process for reconnecting to the concept of queer wholeness – living as and celebrating your most authentic self.
