As part of our continued efforts to fight book bans, Books Not Bans and I are planning an enormous banned books giveaway and dance party in November! Should it be near you? Send us your stories, dreams, or testimonials before 9/30, and we'll announce the winning location soon!

What I’m working on:

A new project that I’m working on, with #lemonysnicket, aka Daniel Handler and Books Not Bans — anyone can write in!

ICYMI, Everything on the Shelves is a new initiative from #LemonySnicket and Books Not Bans, and I'm working with Daniel Handler to lend support to a community fighting book bans–– anyone can write in for the chance to be selected for the launch event this fall!

"If you’re unfamiliar with the ongoing series of Illuminated Editions published by Beehive Books, they’re gloriously oversized, slipcased, and boxed hardcover editions of classic literature." Cinema Sentries recommends Pinocchio. cinemasentries.com/book-review-pi…

Don't forget — Books Not Bans, Lauren Cerand, and I are throwing a massive banned books giveaway and literary dance party this November! Write to us at [email protected] by 9/30 to share your story, and perhaps we'll throw the party somewhere near you!
