If you have not been calling your reps, you really need to start. Call both their DC and local offices. That’s six calls. Make it as personal as you can. Every single day. Emails and resistbot texts are not the same. Call.

In March, I’ll be pulling The Aethereals duology from KU and making it wide (technically, it’s already “pulled” but the removal takes time). You’ll be able to purchase the ebooks everywhere, including from my shop. The omnibus that is coming for the series will be the same.

If you feel overwhelmed, it’s okay to take a break. Stare at a tree. Make yourself a cuppa. Get back into a grounded space. This is awful. We knew it would be, but living it is different than knowing.

The room fell quiet—a natural lull in conversation. The cat, who had been napping, stretched. When the humans’ eyes fell upon her she curled her tail tightly around her paws and spoke clearly. “Mother comes. The revolution is upon us.” Thus ended human reign on Earth. #oneskeetstory

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · 25/11/2024
An Open Letter to our Publishers has been sent to over 90 Publishing CEOs this morning in response to the concerns of our members. 1/4
An Open Letter to Our PublishersWith the election of the trump administration and its policies as embodied by Project 2025, we authors have deep concerns about how our publishers will be operating and how publishers will advocate for and protect authors. Trump's agenda explicitly calls for the criminalization of authors, teachers, librarians, and publishing professionals with the consequences including, "imprison[ment]," and being "classed as registered sex offenders" (pg 4 Project 2025)For authors who are not citizens, this could also result in deportation. This promises to be a pro-censorship, pro-book-banning administration, and the successful implementation of its policies will require willing compliance of America's institutions, including its corporations. 

The freedom to write is as important as the freedom to read. We have been heartened by many publishers' willingness to engage in legal and legislative pathways to fight book banning and want to be sure that you will double-down on your fight during this consequential time. This past week AABB help open forums with authors from all genres and age levels to better understand author concerns and needs. While this may not be a complete list due to the rapid turnaround, we know we have a short time before January to prepare for what is to come and we want to this start this conversation sooner rather than later.

I cannot emphasize how important it is to leave reviews for marginalized authors. Fash and conservatives OFTEN leave negative reviews just to purposefully tank a book and give "validity" to their argument that "diverse books are badly written."

Trump's incoming pick for the FTC chair has explicitly said he wants to use the agency to target LGBTQ content and "fight wokeness" He's eager to turn the FTC into an agency that polices online speech. And #KOSA would be handing him a loaded gun to do just that.

The new version of #KOSA is part of a last-ditch desperate effort to ram the bill through in a must-pass package before the end of the year. That would be a catastrophe for human rights, free expression, and everyone's online safety and privacy. Sound the alarm and take action www.stopkosa.com

Stop KOSA
KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!
