Deborah Heiligman (she/her)@dheiligman.bsky.social · 2mo agoI enjoyed the interview. Wondering, though, Mr. Remnick--will you interview the others in the race? @newyorker.com Seems only fair. At least this is what all my dog-walking friends on the UWS told me this morning when I said I was listening to it.

Kirsten W. Larson@kirstenwlarson.bsky.social · 2mo agoThink you’ve exhausted your research? When Nancy Hudgins was writing about Ursula Nordstrom, she discovered new material by searching "Ursula Dixie" (her father's surname). 🎧 New podcast episode: youtu.be/niownBnAmIE #kidlit #nonfiction #writingtips #research #amwriting @nancyhudgins.com
Really enjoyed the @biographersintl.bsky.social conference. I spoke with Ray Anthony Shepard about radical biographies for teens. Angela Carstensen was a great moderator. Learned a lot from other speakers. It’s a wonderful community! #booksky

I love when one of my books is on a summer reading list. I picture teens all over America reading about Emma Goldman and anarchism and getting inspired to speak out for their rights and rights of others and I just get all gooey. I love you, @thehornbook.bsky.social

Thank you beloved @thehornbook.bsky.social for putting Loudmouth on your summer reading list! Let's learn about this wild and wonderful woman, kids! @mackidssl.bsky.social If she can't dance, it's not her revolution... but she danced! Dance with Emma!

To my #fountainpen people: I love my #Pilot 823 for everyday (long) writing. But it keeps having issues. #Pilot has good customer service, but I don't want to keep sending it back. The latest: a leak where the nib meets the pen. What other pen should I consider for long writing, lots of ink?
Thank you my wonderful publisher! Emma Goldman is a person to celebrate--in all her complexity. Although she had a dance on Yom Kippur, I believe she is the embodiment of Tikkun Olam. #jewishamericanheritagemonth

Thank you to @jdefilippo.bsky.social for writing a song about Emma Goldman after reading Loudmouth!!! You can listen to it on my Loudmouth page: deborahheiligman.com/books/books-... song by Joe and The R.J. Phillips band @mackidssl.bsky.social
Loudmouth by Deborah Heiligman
Emma called herself an anarchist & a freethinker. Her critics called her a “loudmouth.” Sometimes you need to be loud if you want to be heard.

And yes, I do believe teenagers need to know there are ways for them to fight! Thank you again! @mackidssl.bsky.social
Cheryl B. Klein@cherylklein.bsky.social · 3mo agoTeenagers should read this book to know that there are possibilities beyond our current system, & to see a model for fighting it; adults should do the same to remember those facts. I’m about 3/4th through & have really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Great cover, too. Well done all around!
When an editor (not yours!) praises your book it makes your day. Week…! @fiercereads.bsky.social
Cheryl B. Klein@cherylklein.bsky.social · 3mo agoA shoutout to LOUDMOUTH: EMMA GOLDMAN VS. AMERICA (A LOVE STORY) by @dheiligman.bsky.social, which is SO enlightening & depressingly relevant to our current age: workers vs elites, women’s rights, government overreach, assassinations, all in the story of a thrillingly brave, honest & human heroine.
