I’m in love with this art from #PublishersWeekly Feb 6 print edition.

Amanda Jones is a hero, fighting #bookbanning in schools and public #libraries, and in 2022 Defenders article in #publishersweekly. Latest update on #GoFundMe: "...I signed with Sarah Fish of The Tobias Literary Agency to write a book about my ordeal and about the censorship attempts by extremist groups...If you know of an educator or librarian being defamed and/or harassed online, please reach out to them.

“You know the Dunning-Kruger effect, where the less you know the more you think you know? That confidence that can come from ignorance can really benefit people,” says Wertz... “I didn’t know a lot about comics or publishing. I thought, I can’t draw, but whatever—I’m going to do it anyway. Now, it’s good to know the rules in the industry, but it’s also good to know what rules you can fudge.” Julia Wertz on #PublishersWeekly https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/authors/profiles/article/91286-julia-wertz-says-goodbye-to-all-that.html
