Tonight -- the on sale day for Nations Apart -- I'll be at @belmontbooks.bsky.social in the eponymous Boston suburb. (Yes, the town was named for the bookstore... Don't argue, I'm a historian.) Come say hello.

There’ still a shared American story, I write in @nytimes.com, and the data shows it isn’t Vance’s ethnonationalist one. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/o...

I will be closed to queries beginning November 1st, 2025 so I can catch up on my backlog of submissions. If I requested via DVpit or another pitch event, you are still welcome to send and please put "[pitch event] request" in the subject line.

New newsletter just dropped. Please subscribe if you haven’t already, I don’t send them too often, and they’ve been known to bring you a giggle or a thoughtful nod. This one is about the Kirkus star and finding joy when the world is *gestures*.

BLOOD MOON @britneyslewis.bsky.social is an *instant* #1 New York Times bestseller and Indie bestseller!!

My latest story for @timemagazine.bsky.social on Labor Day, Labor Day Sales and the American Dream. A very personal essay time.com/7313480/labo... @eccobooks.bsky.social @economichardship.bsky.social @jillgrinberglit.bsky.social @maiasz.bsky.social @maassp.bsky.social @economichardship.bsky.social

Before she became an author, Britney S. Lewis grew up noticing the erasure of Black protagonists in paranormal stories. Here, she reflects on how her favorite genre has mistreated its Black heroines and how she aims to rewrite the narrative in her new YA novel, Blood Moon.

My new piece on what I call "citizen insecurity" in @theguardian.com @economichardship.bsky.social @jillgrinberglit.bsky.social

My next YA cozy fantasy, A Taste of Memories, is coming your way in Spring 2027 from Feiwel & Friends!! This one is magical, foodtastic, and incredibly meaningful. You will cry while spreading some sweetly tart jam on your scone. I hope you’ll love it. Alt Description below :))

Run. Don't walk. To watch #Leviathan on @netflixanime.bsky.social. British Sky whales. Mechanised central powers. Genetically engineered weapons of war. With a quality of artwork you don't typically get due to budgetary constraints. It's very good.

I make my case for a shared American story and why its existentially important in this moment on PBS's "Story in the Public Square," produced at Rhode Island PBS with my colleagues at @pellcenter.bsky.social. Now streaming free here: www.pbs.org/video/story-...

Many readers of 'A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth' asked for pictures. Your wish, my command: THE WONDER OF LIFE ON EARTH has illustrations by Raxenne Maniquiz and a text rewritten for pre-teens. It's out Feb 2026 and you can preorder it now. www.panmacmillan.com/authors/henr...
