Focusing on fiction this week at #AWP2026, but most of my books are nonfiction, and both #VotesofConfidence and #CivicMinded are showing up on lots of useful #election2026 midterm reading lists. Including this PBS one reshared today in Arkansas. www.arkansastv.gov/sites/defaul...

Note for the #teachers and #librarians out there. With #midterms coming up quick, starting to book school and library visits (in person and virtual) to talk about the concepts covered in #VotesofConfidence and #CivicMinded, the election itself, and what young voters need to know. Reach out directly.

Useful breakdown here of what is and isn't in the bill passed Friday, if you lost track of the versions. (And the reminder that this funding is about spending Congress passed, not the White House. There's a whole chapter in #CivicMinded explaining this in detail. www.cnn.com/2024/12/18/p...

Every day lately, I'm reminded that while #CivicMinded came out just before #election2024 and was intended to help young adults understand issues before voting, it has a new life as an explainer for things (like tariffs) that they'll need to understand ASAP. #amwriting bookshop.org/p/books/civi...
