Will Strivers

Will Strivers is the author of "Malcolm and Martin Become Friends" and founder of Good Father Publishing LC. A DC native passionate about representation in children's literature, he creates stories that show Black boys as brilliant, capable leaders with different approaches to the same goal.

Malcolm and Martin aren't just learning to get along—they're two powerful minds who must unite their different strengths to heal division in their school. They prove that opposing forces can work together for a greater good.

Will's books celebrate Black boys as strategic thinkers and changemakers, teaching children that unity doesn't mean sameness—it means combining different powers to make real change.

He's currently working on the next books in the Malcolm and Martin series.
