i’m honestly so scared of what’s happening in the world right now.

An Open Letter to @ForestofReading: This is an important time for the Canadian kidlit community to stand up for 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion, and to advocate for schools to continue to create a supportive environment for all their students. Please share widely. bit.ly/openletterFOR 1/2

Just finished Ronnie Riley's book JUDE SAVES THE WORLD and it was FABULOUS! Go get yourself a copy or request it at your library.

I already sent my own personal letter, but have also signed this open letter to them. I am a Scholastic author.

literally just finished therapy talking about this. so I’m taking a social media break.

Happy National Coming Out Day from Olivia, Eden, and me. Wherever you are in your coming out journey, I hope you’re safe and hope you’re finding yourself in the stories around you.

Fave Five: Queer Indigenous Fiction, Part III lgbtqreads.com/2023/10/09/f... 🌈📚

If your Banned Book Week observances are still focusing on Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird instead of the plethora of books by queer and BIPOC authors being actively banned RIGHT NOW, then you may want to ask yourself some questions about what you're actually trying to accomplish.

I guess I’m glad I have answers for my pain, but it doesn’t get rid of the pain I’m in. And today? That’s A LOT of pain.

It is really hard being a writer these days. The industry is getting tougher all the time. You can REALLY help authors and books you love by talking about them. Word of mouth is real magic, your voice matters, it's never too small. Share your enthusiasm for books you love. And THANK YOU.

One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.* Based on the deal, AI can't be source material. So if you're a publisher, AI novels or graphic novels or whatever just became that much less appealing because *they can't be optioned.*

I was officially diagnosed today!!! CFS/ME, POTS, fibromyalgia, and a pinched nerve in my spine! (On top of anxiety/depression/PTSD/ADHD which I already knew about). Anyone have book recs for CFS/POTS/fibromyalgia?

I’m very glad to be here, but I’m gonna miss the good times on that old shitshow

enjoying the dominican 🏝️

omg calling @julesjohnson.bsky.social for this one

I feel like most authors don't rly want Stephen King levels of stardom, where we can't grab a meal w/o people crying at the table. Most of us just want to support our families, afford health care, have 30 people show up to a book signing, and write books that mean something to those who need them.

This blew up and I forgot Alt text:

Yelling

This new book by @alechiadow.bsky.social is just as adorable as it's cover! Told in dual perspective, Kal & Wini are great characters who welcome readers into a wonderful magical world. I'm an absolute sucker for foodie books & there are recipes throughout. JUST A PINCH OF MAGIC is out in October!

our job is beach 🏝️ @julesjohnson.bsky.social we’re in the dominican with family and it’s amazing. my first time at an all inclusive!

i love this so much 🧜‍♂️
