If you have the means, preorder your favorite author’s next book. Why? 1. It boosts publisher and retailer confidence, which leads to more support. 2. It can increase the initial print run, reducing launch-week shortages. 3. It helps secure stronger shelf placement instead of back-corner exile.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Friends, take my mind off the bad news of the world. What is the PICTURE BOOK, published this year, that is turning into a GREAT mentor text???????? Let's make a list of books that will definitely inspire other books.

Disclaimer: The way #ALAyma awards are broadcast makes it VERY tricky to screengrab/crop/post and there's no pausing or rewatching the live feed. I wish there was time to include text to describe screenshots, but it's just too fast. I couldn't even snag all the honors at the beginning!
