I had multiple readers this week tell me they burned my books.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Was recently interviewed for this podcast.

Ever heard someone say “We’re just protecting kids” or “There are plenty of other books”? These are the myths driving book bans. We break down the most common arguments for censorship and give you the facts and responses to push back with confidence: www.freedomtoreadproject.org/debunking_th...

What is the role of the writer in times like these? At the 2025 #PENGala, we took the opportunity to pose that question to Rita Dove and @jodipicoult.bsky.social. #writers #writing #freedomtowrite

“We know from history what the next chapter looks like when we don’t fight book bans, and we know that that is a story that does not end well." Author @jodipicoult.bsky.social and others take aim at NH legislation they say amounts to book banning. From @ethandewitt.bsky.social #NHPolitics

Oh thank God. It’s so incredibly hard to find male authors. I’m so glad that someone is amplifying their voices, because it’s not like they already take up a massive amount of space and airtime. 🙄

Who’s joining us?

Here's an actual message to Democrats about sending fundraising emails. All. The. Time. I love watching @jodipicoult.bsky.social on Tiktok. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjYUJ7tq/

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj1mNtuw/ Thank you @jodipicoult.bsky.social

THANK YOU to all who stood up for books and kids in Iowa! Books back on the shelves is a huge win. Thank you! @authorsguild.bsky.social @halseanderson.bsky.social @jodipicoult.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @malindalo.bsky.social #kidlit #booksky authorsguild.org/news/federal...

NINETEEN MINUTES is one of these books.

We are having way too much fun in the Austenland musical rehearsal room. Please join us for our one-day-only concert at the Savoy Theatre in London on 3/24 and see what the buzz is about ☕️ www.austenlandmusical.co.uk

@jodipicoult.bsky.social is a Princeton English Department alumna, and she went into full-scale scholarly mode for her novel By Any Other Name. buff.ly/Q6xtJ6P

🎧 I had a great time recording an episode of “The Secret Life of Books!” 🎧 Available wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/s... @slobpodcast.bsky.social

International bestseller @jodipicoult.bsky.social has discovered a literary celebrity no one's ever heard of. Her name is Emilia Bassano and she is the first woman to have a collection of poems published in England (in 1611). The kicker is that her side-hustle was writing Shakespeare's plays!

Bestselling and much loved writer @jodipicoult.bsky.social has done some literary sleuthing. She tells us why – with so much going on in his life – she believes it's highly unlikely Shakespeare wrote his own plays.

I could not be happier to announce that this joy spot of a musical is available for purchase or rental on @primevideo.bsky.social www.amazon.com/Between-Line...

It’s almost like we should use human writers, huh www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...

This is perfect. threadreaderapp.com/thread/12250...

Massachusetts readers - we need your help to stop book bans.

This *will be* the testing grounds of implementing such sweeping bans across public schools nationwide.

Delighted to announce a one day, 2 performance concert version of this new musical at the Savoy in London. www.austenlandmusical.co.uk

Today I joined a coalition of publishers including @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social, authors @dashkaslater.bsky.social and David Levithan, @authorsguild.bsky.social, and Idaho librarians, parents, and students, in a lawsuit against Idaho's book banning law, HB 710. I'm proud to be part of the fight.

Supporting authors during this time of book challenges and bans is so important. Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes, was the most banned book of 2024. Thank you for continuing to write about important human stories and for supporting the youth activists in our film! @jodipicoult.bsky.social

And we put up some info on our website about the past 2-3 years battle over Montgomery County’s public library and ways people can engage locally to support Rhea, and the freedom to read in Montgomery County. www.txftrp.org/politics_abo...

In coordination with Rhea’s family, we have created an email template to make it easier to contact the commissioners with a few clicks. actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...

From @jodipicoult.bsky.social book the Storyteller. Seem familiar?

1. This is why when we say NOW is the time to fight book bans, we mean it. This is just around the corner. 2. When I was on book tour the events in states with conservative legislatures like this had crowds of 1500+. More people in America want the freedom to read than those that don’t.
