My abba with all the editions of my new novel going out in the world next week. Indian Muslim girls who grew up in Durban can do the things too. Even the things that growing up other people told us were impossible to do. Alhamdulilah.

@jbakernyc I'm so sorry, Jenn. How HC treated you is upsetting and discourteous. And the disservice to your authors is also disheartening. I hope you find a place and role more deserving of your talents and dedication.

@blgtylr Congratulations!!

[Graywolf Press @GraywolfPress]

We are beyond excited to be publishing VOICE OF THE FISH next week! Check out this Q&A with Lars Horn and Max Ruthless (have you ever come across a cooler name?) from @FoggyPineBooks in the meantime. 🌊

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

@MeghaMaj Congratulations!

If you can afford to pause student loan payments over and over again, you can afford to cancel it.

I just had a big ole cry because #1619Project A NEW ORIGIN STORY and BORN ON THE WATER both debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list. It has been a trying two years but we never lost sight of why we had to do this work. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

@Claribel_Ortega I want one, too! My 2015 Macbook Air is fine but I need something faster with more space.
