Library Tales Publishing Launches Land on Both Feet — A Skateboarding Memoir by Brett Sorem

Library Tales Publishing Announces the Release of Land on Both Feet by Brett Sorem — A Profound Story of Recovery, Resilience, and Skateboarding

New York, NY – June 27, 2025 – Land on Both Feet: Grind Through Life with a Skateboarder’s Mindset is the witty and reflective new memoir by author and former sponsored skateboarder Brett Sorem, published by Library Tales Publishing, and distributed globally by Simon & Schuster.

Officially available on June 17, 2025, the book offers a unique and empowering take on personal growth through the rebellious spirit of skateboarding (ISBN-13: 9798894410203 | ISBN-10: 889441020L | Paperback | $17.99 USD / $23.99 CDN).

Set against the gritty, vibrant backdrop of the 1990s skate scene, Land on Both Feet captures Sorem’s transformation from a skate-obsessed youth with major sponsorships (Billabong, Oakley, Savier Shoes) to an adult reflecting on the profound lessons learned while navigating life on a skateboard.

A Nostalgic and Uplifting Journey of Persistence and Purpose with a sharp sense of humor and cinematic storytelling, Sorem presents eleven life lessons grounded in the experience of falling, getting up, and pushing forward, again and again. The memoir explores themes of resilience, emotional recovery, and the pursuit of authenticity.

“Skating teaches you how to fall, but more importantly, how to get back up—again and again. That’s the trick we all need to land.”

About the Author
Brett Sorem has called nearly every major U.S. city home, from carving curbs in San Diego to skitching cabs in New York City. At 20, he was a sponsored skater with big opportunities but chose education over full-time competition. Today, he is a writer, producer, and creative director whose work champions storytelling, emotional wellness, and community. Land on Both Feet is his debut book, a deeply personal project that merges skate culture with self-help and memoir.
