Victor Yates on Writing, Creativity, and Queer Storytelling

Live! with Fefe and Freddy

This week on Live! with Fefe, I had the pleasure of chatting with Victor Yates, an award-winning writer, typewriter poet, and content creator whose work uplifts and celebrates queer voices.

Victor shared the inspiration behind his debut novel, A Love Like Blood, which earned the 2016 Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Debut Fiction. We also discussed his creative process, his passion for storytelling, and his experiences as a member of Pride Poets, a queer typewriter collective.

In addition to his literary achievements, Victor is a contestant on the gay dating reality show For the Love of DILFs, premiering November 26 on OUTtv. During our conversation, he gave us a behind-the-scenes look at his reality TV journey and offered insights into balancing creativity with the unique demands of the show.

In This Episode:

• Victor’s journey as an author and poet
• The creative process behind A Love Like Blood
