No, I Don’t Want to Read Your Self-Published Book. HT to Kate Welsh @katelinnea
There are some really enlightening articles coming out about what’s happening in New Orleans with charter schools. It sounds like a nightmare to me.
This week in authors being smart on the internet, we have:
- Laura Ruby, dismantling every article that denigrates YA
- Shannon Hale on ‘ageist’ and ‘elitist’ articles about YA and children’s books in general
- Anne Ursu dismantling AO Scott’s piece about the ‘death of adulthood’
Marie Lu’s The Young Elites has a book trailer!
Caveat emptor. Even when it’s free safety software from the police.
Read this important piece by Kelly Jensen about advocating for and writing about girls.
