hello, americans: it’s pride!!!! another great month for YELLING AT OUR REPS!!! follow authors against book bans, make calls, write emails and postcards, LET’S GOOOOO
Are you like me an anxious reviser with a tendency toward the dramatic? Do you get lost in the weeds of everything you think you need to change?? I got to write a post about how I yank myself out of my feelings!! Kidlit Zombie Week has had some really great resources!
Hey New York! It can be easy to think book bans aren't a big deal in a Blue State so we pulled together some information from PEN America for you. Keep pushing on your Right to Read legislation.
Pre-orders make all the difference in the world.
If you think you'll want to hear the tale of Snaggletooth in all her Late Cretaceous glory, ordering from your favorite bookseller ahead of pub gives it buzz and a week one boost! Out on Oct. 27th, less than six months away now.
The Love, Life, and Terror of Earth’s Greatest Carnivore

#KidlitZombieWeek
Congratulations to New York for getting their Freedom to Read bill passed! Now get on the horn to Governor Hochul & tell her to sign it into law!
I have done almost no publicity for my own work in a bit on account of *recalls the past few months* BUT I’m gonna pick it back up because they’re pretty good comics, and I hope more people enjoy them!
We wanted to highlight a type of fossil you can find in our area: trilobites! Find out more using the Salmon Creek Field Guide: https://earthathome.org/finger-lakes-geology/salmon-creek-field-guide/

Stay alert for HR 7661!
This horrible book banning bill has been brewing in the House. Please call your reps to make sure they know about it, and to make sure it doesn't get snuck into any wild-ass omnibus bills.
And thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social for the graphic encapsulating the bill
