It’s Thanksgiving. Perhaps you can make someone else give thanks? See below a fundraiser for Dawn Ruprecht, who has incurred legal fees after being targeted by a book banning extremist out to get librarians. Please help.

It's come to my attention that some people have received AI-generated emails about collaborating with me and/or my agent. I have not and would never send out those emails. If you get one...it's NOT ME!

The same way a single parent who hasn't read a book can get it banned.

Breaking news: censorship isn't just for banned books anymore. My musical Between the Lines was cancelled due to the comments of a single parent.

I read an early draft of By Any Other Name while at the beach with my family. I remember the moment I first encountered Shakespeare in the text. I was not happy: β€œThis [man] was slighter, with a receding hairline and a weak chin badly camouflaged by a dark beard” (144). Emilia immediately remembers reading one of his very bad plays as Hunsdon’s companion. At the bar, Shakespeare claims, β€œI, too, will write for the stage” and Emilia thinks β€œBadly” (144). When reading this exchange, I thought: β€œJodi, you don’t have to be so mean about it.” Quickly, though, I realized that this is exactly the sentiment built by Shakespeareans Picoult wanted to poke atβ€”the belief that Shakespeare is a god beyond reproach.

I got up early & wrote 750 words of my article on working with @jodipicoult.bsky.social on her book, By Any Other Name. it feels good to be writing again.

maybe the brain zaps are working.

Since I am so mired in book banning right now in my real life, I don’t think I will be writing about it anytime soon.
