So excited to be attending virtually! 😊
What are the benefits of attending a #kidlit conference? We asked our #WIK24 faculty for their thoughts. We definitely agree, @jazmiayoung!
HERE IT IS YALL 😭 So proud to announce that I had the gift of editing BLACK GIRL POWER, a fierce, joyous celebration of Black girlhood in all its forms! It has been an honor to edit this MG anthology with so many friends and heroes. Out with Freedom Fire on November 5th! 🔥🥹
THRILLED to reveal the cover for KWAME CRASHES THE UNDERWORLD! For those that seek Black heroes. For those that want to spend time in the underworld. Come celebrate this fantasy adventure of grief, gods, and Ghanaian mythology - coming to you this Fall 🖤: us.macmillan.com/books/97812509…

you do not have the license to lose hope after two months when Palestinians have not done so for seventy five years.
Publishing is in a tough spot and a lot of authors are frustrated. Thats why it’s more important than ever to communicate with your agent about how you’re feeling, what you want, and how to achieve your goals. Help us help you.
2024’s hottest literary drops by black, brown & underrepresented authors 💐 (a thread)
Scholastic, are you going to reintegrate the diverse titles into the general book fair collection, or not? Your most recent communication is unclear. Merely eliminating the separate collection was NOT the idea. Reintegrating the collection was the point of it all. Get it right!
come work with meeeeeeeeeee
I’m officially at the age I don’t wanna be around people who aren’t self aware. continuously putting themselves in bad positions, making bad life choices, toxic ways/lifestyles, no priorities lacking accountability etc.
In case you missed it, book banners are not arguing for children’s innocence. They are arguing for children’s ignorance. That is not the same thing.
.....Anyway, I encourage educators to use their local indie bookstores for book fairs instead of @Scholastic

bell hooks, Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde were crystal clear in their support for Palestine. So don't you dare quote them ever again if you have the moral consistency and backbone of a sea anemone.
