I wrote this essay last fall for print only & I'm republishing it with their permission bc we're talking about didactism in kidlit right now and I have HAD thoughts about the connection between instructive lit and book banning. I'd be honored if you read it. www.prettyokmaggie.com/blog/2026/5/...

With the new Harry Potter trailer dropping today, now is a better time than ever to remind everyone that J. K. Rowling's name appears in the Epstein files where she calls Epstein "a very dear friend".

Starla Rajavuori@srajavuori.bsky.social · 6mo agoI am ecstatic to announce that I've signed with literary agent @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social. My spooky middle grade set during Arctic Finland's polar night is in incredible hands, and I can't wait to see where this journey goes!
Happy almost Valentine’s Day from my novel-in-progress! Because even though birds aren’t real, my excitement about the second draft of this book absolutely is 😎 #writing #writercommunity #valentines #wip #capitalismsucks #birdsarentreal
I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.
Christina Orlando@cxorlando.bsky.social · 6mo agohello this is the official petition to bring back mass market paperbacks!! mmpbs are good actually and everyone should do them!! i think esp romantasy readers would really love that shit! and you can still spray those edges!!! bring back mass market paperbacks thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
