I didn’t know NaNoWriMo was gone. Huh. I’ll miss that writing community feel that came every November.

Hey @mrschureads.bsky.social ! I just checked into a hotel in NJ and the guy at the desk said he liked a sticker on my suitcase. (It was Pluto.) I told him I wrote the book and he proudly proclaimed he recently met another children’s book author and whipped out your signed bookmarks. Small world!

Thousands of books have been targeted for removal from school and public libraries. In fact, we've been tracking thousands of book bans here. Yet, the U.S. Dept of Education released a statement calling book bans a hoax! bit.ly/4h76cS5 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

EveryLibrary Objects to Trump Administration Calling Book Bans a Hoax

Book bans have not been a Biden-era hoax, and we have the receipts to prove it.

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.

1 day until I WANT 100 DOGS! Our last countdown dog is my Luigi! He was our pandemic pup, and oh, what a special boy he is! At 5 months old, he had major surgery for angular limb deformation. Now, he's a goofy, sweet, curly boy (who gets nervous around strange dogs and men).

3 days until I WANT 100 DOGS! And now, we meet my dogs! This is Munchkin, the oldest of the McAnulty dogs. She loves people--the older, the better--and she LOVES when folks preorder books. ❤️ "Mushikins" hates other dogs, including the ones in her family. 😁
