As Kidlit authors we've all seen that these bans also mean that books don't get published in the first place. School visits get canceled and kids don't become readers. Without kid readers we don't have adult readers.

I started drafting THE HICKORY SWITCH on November 11 - exactly one month ago. The last book to fall out of my head like this was The Clackity, which I also wrote in exactly a month. The book I wrote before this took me six agonizing months. Who's to say how any of this works.
Congratulations @maryaverling.bsky.social ! Taking over the world one spooky book at a time!
It's Shop Small Saturday! Check out your favorite local indie bookshop and if you're in Brooklyn looking for Broken Dolls,

Reading graphic novels is reading. I loved comics as a kid and now I'm an avid reader of novels and an author. Give kids whatever books they want. #kidlit
Today's kid fanmail motivation is from Madeline, who drew me atop a mountain with a rainbow, which is my happy place. #kidlit #amwriting #writingcommunity

In 2023 I had zero books. Today, my FOURTH book published with Scholastic. Time flies. So do spiders. (Actually, they do something called ballooning.) Please check out my book about creepy-crawlies. 🕷️ DOWN CAME THE SPIDERS
The cost of 2 mg paperbacks = the cost of 1 mg hardback… so why not buy my 2 spooky books as gifts for the young reader in your life! Signed copies available here: thebookstall.com/search?q=Wen...
& when checking out, add that you’d like signed copies in “Customer Comments!”

Hey hey!! It's the end of the year, and writing endings is hard, so I got the wonderful Arianne Costner to tell us how. Especially those funny, punchy kind. Seriously her tips are so good! sarahallen.substack.com/p/good-endin...
It's snowy and the roads are bad, but here's a reminder that you can order books online! Even signed ones, like mine!
These visits are always a ton of fun, and a free 30 minute author visit is a great option for schools with limited funds. We've also visited internationally!
A cartoon woman looks on in terror. The caption reads "Spooky Middle Grade. My class can zoom with four MG authors for free? The horror!"
Halloween may be over but our school visits are not! Kids love spooky books all year long and author visits inspire kids to read and write. Reach out to schedule your free visit!
