I loved talking w / @KeltonReid on The Writer Files podcast! Among the topics we covered: what publishers require of authors these days, how to start mapping out an actionable book launch plan, and the importance of being kind to yourself in the lead-up to publication.

🎉@PublishersWkly named Carl Sciacchitano’s graphic novel THE HEART THAT FED one of the best books of 2024! We loved having Carl in our Fall 2023 #BookPublicitySchool workshop and are thrilled to see him recognized for this incredible book. https://t.co/qMG3e8Nujm

By deciding not to editorialize, @washingtonpost and @latimes are violating rule 1 of Timothy Snyder's warnings "On Tyranny."

1.
Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

The October Surprise element in the General Kelly story would be the media treating it with the gravity and longevity it deserves. While also putting it in the context of the rest of the former Trump officials who have spoken out about how dangerous and unfit Trump is.

[Leah Paulos @PressShopPR]

@theprofsasser And, now a Trump spokesman called Jason Stanley, author of ERASING HISTORY, an “idiot professor” for correctly & tirelessly pointing out that Trump’s politics are fascist, an opinion now shared by the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 3/3 https://t.co/o8AogbOaAX

[Leah Paulos @PressShopPR]

SO honored to be working with a bunch of authors who are getting under the skin of some very bad actors. Russia sanctioned @cjcmichel, author of FOREIGN AGENTS, for his tireless reporting on global corruption, much of it originating from the Kremlin. 1/3 https://t.co/mimpTFWf5A

[Leah Paulos @PressShopPR]

Then Marco Rubio, without having cracked open the book, went after @theprofsasser and her book CLIMATE ANXIETY AND THE KID QUESTION for reporting on how young people today are grappling with the threat of climate change. 2/3 https://t.co/6D0Git3RLX

Claudia Strauss's WHAT WORK MEANS: Beyond The Puritan Work Ethic (from @CornellPress) was included in Gretchen Gavett's excellent @HarvardBiz piece about the powerful internal and external forces behind our societal problem with overwork.

"September 19 is not a holiday, and it’s not a date mentioned in most history books, but on this day 228 years ago, George Washington made the single most important act of judgment ever made by an American president. He quit." https://t.co/nHxUs5bKxl

Two lovely bits of author feedback:

[Leah Paulos @PressShopPR]

Jason Stanley, the author of ERASING HISTORY from @OneSignalPub, joined @AliVelshi to explain how controlling information and education via book bans and attacks on libraries, professors, and teachers directly correlates to the struggle for power.

[The Nation @thenation]

Fascism survives off myths that create an out-group, writes Jason Stanley. Schools and universities allow for critical inquiry into these myths, and so attacks on them are canaries in the coal mine of authoritarianism. https://t.co/oCPcdpWOxX

[Leah Paulos @PressShopPR]

And he'll finish the week by speaking with @VelshiMSNBC this Sunday! Congratulations, Jason and everyone on the @OneSignalPub team👏

[Leah Paulos @PressShopPR]

It's been quite a publication week for Jason Stanley and ERASING HISTORY: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future (from @OneSignalPub)!
