The bibliography of Dan Savage includes five books and an edited compilation book, op-ed pieces in The New York Times, and an advice column on sexual issues in The Stranger written by the American author Dan Savage (b. 1964).[1][2][3] A graduate of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Savage began contributing a column, Savage Love, to The Stranger from its inception in 1991. By 1998 his column had a readership of four million. He became the newspaper's editor-in-chief in 2001, later serving as editorial director.

Savage's books have had successful sales results and have been generally well received. Savage Love: Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex Columnist was published in 1998 by Plume and features selections from his advice column. The Kid: What Happened after My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant, published in 1999, received a PEN West Award for Excellence in Creative Nonfiction. Skipping Towards Gomorrah: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America, published in 2002 by Dutton, was featured in The Best American Sex Writing 2004 and won a Lambda Literary Award.

His 2005 book The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family recounting his personal experience deciding to marry his partner Terry Miller and analyzing same-sex marriage, reached The New York Times Best Seller list. After founding the It Gets Better Project in 2010 to reach out to teenagers after incidents of suicide among LGBT youth, his edited compilation of submissions It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living was published in 2011. The book features contributors including the President of the United States Barack Obama, and reached The New York Times Best Seller list in April 2011.

Background

Born in 1964 to a Catholic family in Chicago, Illinois, Savage studied at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana where he earned a bachelor's degree in theater.[1] Savage began writing his column Savage Love in 1991, after his friend Tim Keck co-founded the newspaper The Stranger and invited him along.[1][4] His column appeared in the first issue of the publication.[5][6] Keck recruited Savage from his employment in a video store in Madison, Wisconsin.[1] He was Associate Editor at the newspaper from 1991 to 2001, when he became its editor-in-chief,[2] later becoming its editorial director in 2007.[7] In that year, Savage reported receiving over 500 letters per week in submissions to his advice column.[8]

His book Savage Love: Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex Columnist was published in 1998 by Plume, and includes selected works from his column.[9] It was received favorably by Library Journal.[10] His next book The Kid: What Happened after My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant was published by Dutton in 1999, and recounts his experiences with his boyfriend whilst deciding to adopt a child.[11] The book received a PEN West Award for Excellence in Creative Nonfiction,[1][12][13] and an Off-Broadway musical based on the work was the recipient of the BMI Foundation Jerry Bock Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre.[14] His book Skipping Towards Gomorrah: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America was published in 2002 by Dutton, and describes the author's experiences indulging in the seven deadly sins.[15] The book was featured in The Best American Sex Writing 2004,[16] and won a Lambda Literary Award.[1][17] He authored The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family, published in 2005 by Dutton, wherein he relates his marriage to his partner Terry Miller after a ten-year relationship.[18] It hit the The New York Times Best Seller list,[19] and Nielsen BookScan noted it sold approximately 300,000 copies.[20]

Savage founded the It Gets Better Project in 2010, to address incidents of suicide among LGBT youth.[21] In 2011 Dutton published It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living, a compilation work edited by Savage with Miller, which features contributions from David Sedaris, United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and President of the United States Barack Obama.[22] It reached 16th on The New York Times Best Seller list in April 2011.[23]
