PEN America has compiled a report on book bans in the US—including where it's happening and which books and authors are getting banned the most. It finds a "profound increase... [in bans on] books that relate to communities of color and LGBTQ+ subjects." pen.org/banned-in-the-usa/
Graphic featuring the PEN America logo and text that reads, "Which stories have been banned?" followed by a chart of statistics, including: 467 books on protagonists of color, 379 books on LGBTQ+ characters and topics, 247 books addressing race or racism, 84 books about trans characters and topics.

Yay to all the chefs and cooks who help me access Korean-influenced cooking on my own when I am too far away from family to share a table of mom's home-cooked Korean food together. Can't wait to dig through this latest book! So much talent out there!

For a long time, I have been afraid. “Behind my small eyes, there comes a light, which I use to see you, and in its flicker, I hold the hope that you will see me, too.” nytimes.com/2022/03/18/opini…

Like many others, we have been alarmed by the censorship of diverse titles across the country and the treatment of educators who are already facing extraordinarily difficult circumstances with the pandemic. Here's how we plan to address these problems. ow.ly/6IfX50HPsQ0
Quote graphic that reads, "WNDB stands with diverse creators like Schuyler Bailar and with educators like Alecia Feckers who bring inclusivity into their schools and libraries. We believe that books can teach empathy and that, more than ever, readers need books to be 'windows and mirrors' into the lives of diverse communities." - Caroline Richmond, WNDB Executive Director

With bills being enacted across the country to make it hard to teach about Black history, racism and the fight for equality, #BHM2022 feels particularly important. A reminder for teachers/libraries, we have a free site to help you teach the truth. 1619education.org

Aspiring novelists should apply to this (& any other program) that allows them the time to invest in their craft with great focus & priority. It also links writers to a built-in community of support. You don't have to have any fancy degrees or formal experience to apply!

It's also worth noting that you should apply to opportunities again even if you've applied before and didn't make it the last time(s). Writers grow over time. Just because you didn't make it into a program/fellowship/residency once, doesn't mean you'll never make it.
