Today is the day! Pre-orders are open for Gargantua, where you can find my story, “A Study of Mycelium and Mutualistic Symbiosis,” about a forest in space, nature tourism, and one angry micologist.

Just floating this out there, but any media friends, book bloggers, librarians, etc. maybe want an ARC of With or Without You?

I have… just so many of them.

And with Inkyard dissolving I’m eager to find ways to keep this book going as November gets closer. ❤️

Y’all can’t silence us. You can’t get rid of our books. You can try, but you certainly won’t do it without a fight.

Thanks to Claire at @PublishersWkly for this story about @LoudmouthIndy, my banned bookstore coming to Indianapolis this fall! https://t.co/aRMY31cMkW

[Monique Ford @imagine_truth]

@BeaMorganWrites Oh no

[Monique Ford @imagine_truth]

@howlsmovingjenn YESSSSSSS

[Leah Johnson @byleahjohnson]

This has been one of the worst years in history for book banning, but they can’t ban us or our stories. Which is why I’m so excited to announce that IM OPENING A FREAKING BOOKSTORE!!!! @loudmouthindy will Indy’s only banned bookstore and I’m so excited to bring it to life 😭😭😭

[Monique Ford @imagine_truth]

@CrystalNikish Haha I’d love to hear someone say “Sorry, but your score is too low, we cannot possibly be a good match.” That is the perfect set up!

[Monique Ford @imagine_truth]

Congratulations, Alice!! Can’t wait to read it 💜

[Sera Gamble @serathegamble]

WHY HAVE A TV WRITER ON SET?

Since they already wrote the script (and rewrote it 8 times, and tweaked it after the table read)?

Glad you asked, here's a thread.

[Monique Ford @imagine_truth]

Look at all these titles on the shelf!

[Monique Ford @imagine_truth]

@CamdensCorner @thedreadmachine Wow! Congratulations!

[Monique Ford @imagine_truth]

Today is the day! The anthology is out in the world. I can’t wait to read all the stories from my fellow authors 💜

With all the book challenges and bans happening around the country, just wanted to send a reminder that teens ANYWHERE in the US can apply for a digital Brooklyn library card, which will give them access to the full digital Brooklyn library catalog 🙏🏾
