@dsantat Welp- that’s how it goes sometimes!

@AuthorVillage -Can’t wait!

[School Librarians United @LMS_United]

Thrilled @abmack33 story will be available for everyone to read!

[Kary Lee @KaryLee2]

Really @Schoolastic_ ?“Some books may not be available and there may be some books—not in this preview—sent as substitutes.” Splitting hairs isn’t protecting you. Wake up! You are being bullied! Maybe you should read some of these for advice on your next move.

Thank you, @diversebooks. Diversity is not a choice. Thank you to all the librarians speaking out. Thank you to all the authors speaking up. Thank you to all the customers speaking out. @Scholastic must hear us. Collective action works. We must be relentless. We are not optional.

Parade Magazine lists the top 12 Celebrity Books coming this Fall. I have 2 books on the list: THE SECRET SOCIETY OF AUNTS AND UNCLES written by #JakeGyllenhaal & Greta Caruso (SEPT 5) and DETECTIVE DUCK: THE CASE OF THE STRANGE SPLASH by @hwinkler4real and @linoliver (OCT 17)

Please don't ask authors to speak at your Banned Books Week programs this fall if you're not going to pay them. Now more than ever, authors need to be compensated for their work. Asking authors to work for free in this moment is unacceptable and disrespectful.

[Kary Lee @KaryLee2]

@PhilBildner Exactly!

[Kary Lee @KaryLee2]

@dsantat Right?

Publishers, when sending authors to travel appearances, please consider using hotels other than @Marriott. They continue to support Moms for Liberty and are hosting their “Joyful Warriors National Summit" at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott this June.
