Meta stole every single one of my books to train their AI. Meanwhile, 4 of my books are banned in 14 states. It makes me want to cry.

I just learned that scrivener has a snapshot function that lets you save various versions of your chapters. Unfortunately, I found this out because I was trying desperately to recover a lost chapter. Kids, if you're going to work on multiple devices, make sure to close one before opening the other.

Guys, can I admit that my anxiety and nightmares are so bad right now, that I literally fantasize about writing letters to Mackenzie Scott or Taylor Swift, begging them for enough resources to get my loved ones out of this country? How sad and pathetic is that?

Cook your spatchcocked turkey to temperature. Start with the breast uncovered so it will brown, once it is brown cover with a little foil shield. Then you want to stop cooking when the internal temperature of your thigh is around 175, and the internal temperature of your breast is around 155.

I get a lot of requests for book donations, primarily for my most banned books. When I can afford it, I do it. Our kids need these books so much right now, so if you have the means, I encourage you reach out to local orgs that serve our young people and help them start or build a small library out

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

With 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.
