Nonfiction

Adam Thomas writes narrative nonfiction about identity, belonging, and living life between cultures. His work has been described as "an act of generosity," "beautiful, delicate, bittersweet, and evocative," and "laugh out loud funny but moving at the same time." He writes Theory of Change, a weekly newsletter for nonprofit leaders, and produces video essays for YouTube. In March 2026, he performed his new essay "The Sky Contains The Plans" to 550 people at The Power of Storytelling festival.
