If you’re an acquiring editor, and there isn’t someone trans on your team, or even if there is, speak to trans folk, follow them on socials, and make sure you involve them in your acquisitions decisions – not just at the authenticity read stage, writes Amy Lankester-Owen. 👇

Happy Pride Month but there's no rainbows here today 🖤 On June 28, 1969, Stonewall changed the world for queer people everywhere. 57 years later, the fight isn’t over, the community is still under attack. Loving who you love under the law should be a universal right! #pride #loveislove #kidlit #love

This just made my day!!!! 😂

Y’know, I think I’m going to ask my agent if she thinks I can just ditch Insta in the new year. I think personally the excuse of ‘but MAYBE someone MIGHT find SOMETHING there’ is too poor for me to continue to put up with Meta, so unless she thinks it’s useful, maybe it’s time to call it quits.

Here’s another tip: how about we all just ditch Instagram??? It’s crazy how much creatives insist on staying there while simultaneously going oh no one sees my posts, I’m not growing, etc. Girl stop, it’s not you, it’s the app.
