Press & Media Kit

Aleks Filmore is an indie LGBTQ author whose self-published memoir-in-essays, The Worst Boyfriends Ever, transformed private chaos into connection. What began as breakup notes written at 2 a.m. became a viral sleeper hit – reaching #1 in Gay Fiction, #1 in Gay Humor, #2 in Gay Romance, and maintaining a 4.7★ average from 120+ verified reviews.

Filmore writes about love, loss, and the aftermath with a blend of sharp wit and emotional realism. His work refuses the easy comfort of self-help tropes. Instead, he offers something rarer: confessional honesty dressed in irony, where humor becomes a form of emotional survival and self-awareness is the only real closure.

Now fully committed to indie publishing, Filmore is building what he calls his Heartbreak Canon – a trilogy of emotional evolution that moves from chaos to clarity. Not self-help. Self-research.
