**Authors Against Book Bans, Response to S.4925, National Book Ban Bill** Here's @authorsabb.bsky.social statement in response to the national book ban bill: PLEASE take the time to read/share this. PLEASE call your reps. PLEASE encourage others to call their reps. Calling your reps DOES work.
NEW: A federal book banning bill has been introduced in the Senate. It's time to make our voices heard. Tell your Senators to REJECT pro-censorship legislation like S. 4925 that would limit the freedom to read! We need every advocate to speak out against censorship: action.ala.org/campaign/S4925

Possibly unpopular opinion? I think artists should get to sign the art they make for book covers. It should be right there, on the front, because it’s never been more important to showcase the humanness of art. And also there are many times when I see a beautiful cover and wonder, “Who made this?”
Really excited for this upcoming event at Linden Tree books! If you're in the Bay Area please come on June 7 at 10:30am for storytime reading Baseball for Breakfast!⚾
