Sofia Franklyn Announces 'Daddy Issues' Memoir for November, Signs With Verve

The book positions Franklyn to reclaim her story from the Call Her Daddy split.

Overview

  • Simon & Schuster will publish Daddy Issues in November 2026, with outlets reporting conflicting on-sale dates of Nov. 1 and Nov. 10.
  • Franklyn has joined Verve for representation, and the agency will handle media rights for the project.
  • Simon & Schuster says Franklyn will narrate the audiobook version herself.
  • The revealed cover shows Franklyn beside a blonde figure whose face is cut out, a design widely interpreted as referencing former cohost Alex Cooper.
  • The publisher frames the memoir as Franklyn’s account of the business and friendship breakup and a testimony about girlhood, sexuality, agency and healing after being cast as the internet’s “villain.”
