To all aces and aros out there - I hope you're spending today doing something joyous, and/or with joyous people. And if not, I hope you take care of yourselves. Take the time and space for the healing you need. Today, you deserve it. 🖤🤍💜

I don’t think Harper Collins understands the sheer amount of ill will they’re generating among authors and agents. Everyone I talk to is fully disgusted and supports @hcpunion

HarperCollins has just informed its employees that they're feeling the pain of our strike and missing their striking workers—by expediting requests for temp hires. Guess our labor truly is necessary 🤷#hcponstrike

Hey who wants to read 7,000-ish words about #TheSandman?
This one took a few days, but it was fun as hell: tor.com/2022/08/02/everythin…
Julia Gilstein retweeted
speaking as as a literary agent whose list is entirely BIPOC and queer authors...
absolutely not.
i dont need comparative titles to sell your book and you dont need them to assert your work's place.
please focus on the quality of the book you're writing rather than the comps.

Call your local municipal/regional politicians and tell them you are a single-issue voter and that issue is LIBRARIES.

Pirating books and pretending it's some kind of liberatory act is roughly the same as doing a dine & dash at a nice restaurant and thinking you're sticking it to "the man," when actually the waitress will get the cost of your meal docked from her pay.

On the push to ban some children’s books, @levarburton tells #TheView, “I’ll be absolutely candid and honest. It’s embarrassing that we are banning books in this country; in this culture; in this day and age.”
“Read the books they’re banning. That’s where the good stuff is!”
