Looking for a modern classic to kick off your kid's summer reading? 🌞 We've got you covered: bit.ly/42L913k @ninavarelas @itsMEaubrey @maeedakhan @pacylin @sam_aye_ahm @AminaLuqman @itspeterbrown @leverus
🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ tell your 7th grader i said thank you so much!! 🌈🌈
Others have already pointed this out, but it bears repeating: this is a very, very bad thing when it’s coming alongside a push to define being trans or sometimes queer in the presence of children as a sex crime.

We love @ninavarelas's Juniper Harvey and couldn't agree more. Thank you @MarkDoesStuff!
Here's a booklist my 13yo asked for: 🌈 9 great recent LGBTQ+ middle grade fantasy books 🏳🌈🐉🦄📚, including books by @AshVanOtterloo @BrianFarrey @jennreese @MarkDoesStuff @ninavarelas @zackloranclark @KyleLukoff #mglit alibrarymama.com/2023/04/07/lgb…
🌙 HAPPY BLOOD DEBTS DAY!! The face of an incredibly happy and grateful author. It’s been a 13-year-long journey, but mama I made it! This isn’t just my day—this is for US. Black and Black Queer folks, pull up to the table and prepare to feast! I love us for real.
I've carried Alana, Charlie, Rue, and the rest of Whistler Beach with me for so long. I can't wait for you to meet them. You can buy THE MEMORY EATER today (!!!!) at: amazon.com/Memory-Eater-R… barnesandnoble.com/w/the-memory-e… indiebound.org/book/978059352…
Oh my gosh... she's here. THE MEMORY EATER is the culmination of so many stories I wanted to tell: a story of a monstrously complicated family, of realizing the expectations placed on you were never fair - and of realizing that maybe you went along with something unfair, too.
My books (and other books about queer youth) do belong in schools, and I appreciate all the librarians and educators and book fairs that make that happen. More than anything, I’m rooting for your child’s happiness and strength and freedom. I hope they don’t grow up like you.
Queer kids save the world (or the kingdom) in these great recent #MGlit books set in fantasy realms or fantastical versions of our world! Reviews: mombian.com/2023/02/28/que… #QueerKidLit #WNDB #ReadWithLove #BooksNotBans (Author links in 🧵.)
Escapist readers unite! 📚 Fall in love with these enthralling stories: bit.ly/3YcKO3M
one more thing on this release day… here’s how the JUNIPER HARVEY acknowledgments end. a mini love letter to queer kids. it’s all for you, i love you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ninavarela.com/juniper

We have to deal with this immediately in our contracts, in our work being fed to AI online. And then we need an Authors Union NOW.
Authors: we need to stand up with the actors. AI is ALREADY HERE in our work. I just spoke to a Very Famous Author who has to remain nameless for legal reasons. They are held up in a contract negotiation because a Major Publisher wants to train AI on their work.

read this. DO NOT look up anything about it. just read it. it's only like 464 pages u can download it on audible it's only like 14 hours. do it right now i'm very extremely serious.
This month I'm celebrating my birthday, my 1-year anniversary @NewLeafLiterary, and some fun news! So excited to continue working with @whimsicallyours in this new capacity and to start building a list of my own 💞
A line from BLOOD JUSTICE that feels relevant, particularly today. This is from our main girl, Cris.✊🏾
One of my 7th graders loved this one so much they've already started booktalking it to the rest of the club. "I loved that the romance was just THERE just like it would be for straight people. The plot twist was SO well done! If you like PERCY JACKSON you'll like this!"
🧬🧬🧬 obsessed with the detail on this graphic actually
ICYMI our friends at @tordotcom revealed the cover of THE DEATH I GAVE HIM by @emdashliu, a queer retelling of Shakespeare's HAMLET as a locked-room thriller! 💀🔬 Cover: James Macey, Blacksheep Design Ltd ➡️ bit.ly/3mB0GjC
It’s also a terrible idea for many other reasons, first being the state should not be executing anyone. Then there’s also the fact that it’s already difficult to get victims to report their abusers, with “but they’ll send me to jail if you tell” already wielded like a weapon
Others have already pointed this out, but it bears repeating: this is a very, very bad thing when it’s coming alongside a push to define being trans or sometimes queer in the presence of children as a sex crime.
BREAKING: Florida Senate committee has unanimously passed a bill that would give the death penalty to those who commit sexual crimes against children.
“16 books challenged for inappropriate content will remain on school library shelves…The board, in a 4 to 1 vote, AGREED WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF A 34-MEMBER REVIEW COMMITTEE to keep the books in the public schools.” More 👏 of 👏 this 👏 please! 👏 tcpalm.com/story/news/edu…
I’m calling it now: Emily Tesh’s Some Desperate Glory for Best Novel at the 2024 Hugos. It’s relevant to everything currently going on with fascism and gender—yet deeply, gorgeously hopeful. And it’s out today!
" The well-told story combines thrilling action with more thoughtful content, touching on such hot topics as AI, fascism and gender politics, and looks like another award winner." - @guardian on Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh theguardian.com/books/2023/apr…
