Writer, Human, Author, Friend.
I'm so glad you love HOLLOWAY. Thank you so much for reading and sharing!!
Abbie James@abbiewjames.bsky.social · 2w agoI finished HOLLOWAY several days ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it. This book is art. It is profound and full and complex. Thank you for sharing this with the world, @elanakarnold.bsky.social. 💛 Gorgeous cover by Sarah Jarrett. #YA #kidlit 📚👍
I'm THRILLED about this gorgeous review. What a pleasure to be seen--both myself and my work--so clearly. When people ask me who I hope will read HOLLOWAY, my answer is: Everyone. I want everyone to read my book.
Locus Magazine@locusmag.bsky.social · 2w agoRead @chasingray.bsky.social’s review of HOLLOWAY by @elanakarnold.bsky.social: “Ultimately, this is a coming-of-age novel like no other and a singular achievement for Elana K. Arnold.”
haha this is how I feel when people forget my "K"

Here is the testimony I offered at Monday's State Board of Educatikn hearing. Under their new, proposed curriculum, the history of my family will be whitewashed behind recognition. I doubt what I said will change minds, but I'm proud to have gone there, and to have said it.

Kyle Lukoff@kylelukoff.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo grateful to Betsy Ramsey Bird for this excellent interview! Priscilla Tey gave us a truly mind blowing breakdown of her process. I said "Imagine being dignified on a unicycle!!"

I both think it's important to tell this story but also: I have done so much work SINCE THEN to try and create a world where it doesn't happen again, along with 5,000 other book creators in @authorsabb.bsky.social. And I feel like that's the more important story by a mile.

This is the situation I refer to the most when trying to explain a the state of book bans right now. Utah has state mandated book destruction for books like Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, and Damsel by Elana K Arnold. The vast majority of the books are written by women.
The Salt Lake Tribune@sltrib.com · 3mo agoAcross all Utah public schools, every district copy of each banned book must be destroyed, according to state law.
@elanakarnold.bsky.social's HOLLOWAY is a stunning, honest tale about grief and finding your true self where you least expect to. Check out Mandy C.'s review at foreveryoungadult.com/book-report/....

We need all hands on deck to stop H.R. 7661, the federal book banning bill. Your voice matters. Congressional offices track every call—we CAN make a difference. I hope you’ll join me in speaking out. There's a script you can follow here: action.everylibrary.org/callhr7661 @authorsabb.bsky.social
YAY I love this book!!! (and not just because it's dedicated to me (humblebrag)).
