Measure signed by Gov #SarahHuckabee Sanders earlier set to take effect Aug. 1. #education ??

I’m here because I want to be on the record against #censorship, for #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreeSpeech; for #academicfreedom and the rights of #adjuncts. So welcome and I hope you can put up w/occasional attempts at self-promotion. (I write and occasionally publish stuff.) Peace out.

A new law requires booksellers to rate #books to be sold to schools, including books sold IN THE PAST. Booksellers are suing to stop what they say is an unconstitutional violation of #FirstAmendment. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/25/books/book-banning-texas-lawsuit.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Seeing and signing my book FRIEND ME in a #London bookstore is the thrill of my life. Thank you #Waterstones Gower Street for having FRIEND ME (Scholastic) on the shelves of your magnificent children's section. This shop is book paradise, people... stop by if you can. Shown here with a domesticated Dalek (OR IS IT?)

"I believe that, if I’m good with words, the single best thing I can do with that is write stories for young readers." -- thanks to @bigbeardedbookseller for having me for an author Q&A! We talked about my debut FRIEND ME (Scholastic), how I write, and my 122 rejections en route to publication.

Also, I wonder how much of B&Ns recent success is simply due to Amazon's negligence of their service quality-and-control. I.e., Amazon now seems incapable of shipping an unblemished book, thus driving more people to brick and mortar shops.

In her annual end-of-year letter,
the Booksellers Association m.d. Meryl Halls says publishers must be "commercially supportive of bookshops" if they are to survive a potentially "brutal" 2023.

“Not only is there zero national conversation about children’s books, but this is underpinned by a woefully inadequate understanding of the skills required to write and illustrate good children’s books, and the influence they have on children’s lives"
