Full statement:

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Enter to win a copy of my upcoming #YA novel in #verse, What If It Wasn't My Fault. A story of becoming, resisting, bravery.

Has anyone checked on Mitch Wertlieb since Bobby Weir's passing? @vermontpublic.org *thinking of you, Mitch*

So grateful for this interview! Thank you @deborahkalb.bsky.social !

THE BOARD Pub Week Updates Indie bookstores, fancy coffee, guest posts, gratitude

Pub week updates! (cover cake, fancy coffee, indie bookstores + gratitude) substack.com/home/post/p-... #vermont #authors #booklaunch #thriller

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The Board by Katy Farber Farber (The Order of the Trees) draws on her background in education for this shrewd small-town thriller. Recently divorced moth...

Fantastic Publishers Weekly review for THE BOARD by @katyfarber.bsky.social. This is a concept I created many moons ago and which Katy executed amazingly. Hitting bookstores nationwide on September 9th from @blackstonepub.bsky.social! www.publishersweekly.com/9798228016880

Teacher in front of a chalk board, smiling.

Cover of a new book Real Talk for New Teachers. Black cover, with teachers around a rectangle table, meeting.

This is me as a new teacher (yes, we actually had chalk boards then!). Now, 25 years later, Penny Bishop and I have a book out TODAY called Real Talk for New Teachers: Tools for a Sustainable Career. We deeply hope it helps educators build a humane and sustainable career in teaching. #teachers #ED

Watching: authentic, smart, crime solving women as medicine for these times part one: TV edition (book edition coming soon)

So give me the stories of women taking up space, standing for those who need it or can’t, connecting with those at the margins, and being incredibly badass and brilliant.

Cover of THE BOARD by Katy Farber. A women running up steps toward a school at twilight in the fall.

Stopped by @bridgesidebooks.bsky.social today and was delighted by the collection (fierce), signage, and conversation. Dropped off an ARC of my new thriller, THE BOARD, out this fall 🍁

As a parent with kids in school this is the stuff that keeps me up at night. That Trump is *hiding* and *reversing* any progress we've made to stop school shootings is truly unthinkable.

They say it's not the guns, it's mental health, and then defund mental health programs.

I’m with you!!!

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

Love bookstores? Love browsing new ones while traveling? Love having one near home? if so, you need to shop at them, or they won't be there to love. Indies offer way more value than just buying a book - expert curation, personal book recs, events, donations, a safe space, fun social media! #booksky
