Sara Hudson@saraphudson.bsky.social · 35m agoA YA book that just sings. Flawed, messy characters with crisp, fresh voices. Authentic neurodiversity representation in a narrative that moves. Honest questions without pat answers. A pitch perfect conversation about consent. @metallowrites.bsky.social can flat write. Don't miss this one.
We love authors showing up for authors. Come to author events in indie bookstores - we promise you will have a great time. www.bookpeoplerichmond.com/events/calen...

Sara Hudson@saraphudson.bsky.social · 4d agoBookish folks: Support your local indie bookstore and local authors by going to author events. Please. There is simply no substitute for showing up - and they are fun! Here are four established local authors at an event for a debut author, welcoming her into the community. #GoodKarma
Thank you to Henrico Citizen for covering our @authorsabb.bsky.social event last week. Thank you to Meg Medina, @sararaaschbooks.com, @jamesriverwriters.bsky.social, and @logentry.bsky.social for making the evening so impactful. #FReadom bit.ly/4w8ZmD7

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out for the Authors Against Book Bans ( @authorsabb.bsky.social ) Read-In with authors Meg Medina and @sararaaschbooks.com , co-sponsored with @jamesriverwriters.bsky.social. A packed house to read, listen, ask questions, and take action.
Bookseller Sara is also a freelance writer, creating educator guides for picture books and middle grade. Here's her latest for Borders by Karim Ressouni-Demigneux, illustrated by Karine Maincent, from @bluedotkidspress.bsky.social.
Sara Hudson@saraphudson.bsky.social · 4w ago@fuse8.bsky.social highlights the great work coming from smaller presses. I had the good fortune to work on the educator guide for Borders from @bluedotkidspress.bsky.social - a beautifully produced book that addresses complex issues in an engaging way.
This is what supporting local authors looks like in our shop. Face out, front and center, best shelf in the place. Yes, you can get bestsellers and big names here, too. But our local friends don't compete for space. They own the space. #ShopLocal #SupportLocalAuthors
Tony Gentry@logentry.bsky.social · last mo.Just wow. The thrill of seeing two of my books displayed at a bookstore (here at Book People RVA @bookpeoplerva.bsky.social). #books #writing #booksky #bookstores #RVA
This is what independent bookstores are all about. A packed house of aspiring writers learning from local authors Rachel McRady and Kristin Kisska and local publisher Wildling Press. Spirited and supportive conversations about bringing important stories from real humans to life. #ShopLocal
So, this week you can buy books from That Guy for a discount and they will come to your house very quickly. And, great. But That Guy doesn't listen to what you love and then help you find the perfect book. That Guy doesn't work with the local library to host fantastic events.
Cruising through a busy month with two events left to go! Don't worry - lots on tap for July and August. Join us! #ShopLocal #SupportLocalAuthors

Go ahead and judge a book by its cover. This story is as hauntingly beautiful and layered as the artwork. At times deeply sad, it is a story of family, loss, and redemption. I loved it. #ShopLocal #IrishSad #OnShelvesNow @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social
Such a privilege to have @logentry.bsky.social in the shop with his hauntingly beautiful new book, Covenant City. #ShopLocal #SupportLocalAuthors #OnShelvesNow #booksky
