Hi @SciBugs! I recently submitted a form through @BugQuestions requesting permission to paraphrase one of your tweet threads, but haven't heard back. Could you please dm me? Thank you.

[Amanda Betts @ACBetts]

@ms_mars Hello Dr. King! I sent a permissions query through your Ask an Entomologist website, regarding a twitter thread we'd like to quote in a forthcoming book. Have you seen it? Thanks.

Montreal’s Sarah Bernstein explores power and prejudice in Booker longlisted ‘Study for Obedience’ https://t.co/mxaEYLqSDv via @torontostar

[Amanda Betts @ACBetts]

🎆Thrilled for the brilliant Sarah Bernstein. Study for Obedience is out from @KnopfCA in North America on Aug. 22.

[The Booker Prizes @TheBookerPrizes]

Study for Obedience is an unsettling novel that explores themes of prejudice, abuse and guilt through the eyes of a singularly unreliable narrator.

Congratulations to Sarah Bernstein, longlisted for the #BookerPrize2023.

A glowing review for Sarah Bernstein's beautiful book✨✨

[Granta Books @GrantaBooks]

'STUDY FOR OBEDIENCE has a parable’s radiance: the air of the consequential, of a cast who represents us all... Bernstein’s writing is [...] electric and elegant' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“A Country You Can Leave is a master class of a bildungsroman…Like childhood, Angel-Ajani’s novel is alternately horrifying and spellbinding in its lessons about love, family and growing up.” —@nytimes

Congratulations to @AsaleAngelAjani for a NYT Shortlist book!

Thank you Canada! The Menopause Manifesto is back in the Toronto Star bestseller list! Not bad almost 2 years after publication.

People around the country were outraged when Helen Naslund was sentenced to 18 years in prison for killing her abusive husband.
Over months, Helen and her family have bravely opened their lives to me, in the hope their story can help someone else. https://t.co/MqHxdI0eBC

@CromartyHeather Relatable. This is tough. May I recommend the book Generation Dread by @brittwray. Helps with processing this particular anxiety, which is actually a healthy response to the state of the world.
