Both were inaugural Class of 2022 mentees, and have seen their writing careers grow since joining #PBRisingStars. @booksbytrenise.bsky.social signed her debut PB deal in 2023 + signed with new rep (that she’s THRILLED about!) last summer.

Strong agree. We're living through a sustained attack on the rule of law and the Constitution. We don't know how successful it will be. A wide range of possible outcomes are meaningfully different. The worst reaction for supporters of the republic is to declare defeat and mock those fighting.
