Screenshot of Publishers Weekly Children's Bookshelf rights report, with a yeti in a tutu accidentally bomping a unicorn in the face with his giant hairy foot. Headshot of yours truly. Text: Renee Kelly at Penguin Workshop has acquired Steph Lau’s debut picture book, The Abominable Snow Dancer, about a Yeti who loves to dance, but every time his moves slip out, things end in disaster, a story about never dulling your shine. Publication is slated for Fall 2025; Alexandra Levick at Writers House did the deal for world rights.

Excited to share this news, finally!

My debut picture book ❄️✨THE ABOMINABLE SNOW DANCER✨❄️ is coming out Fall 2025 from Penguin Workshop!

1/ This book is secretly about me. While I'm not a hairy yeti who dreams of dancing (... Or am I?🤔), I DID dream of writing #kidlit one day, and here I am!

Americans will throw out 316 million pounds of food on Thanksgiving. Here's how it fuels climate change The United Nations estimates that up to 10% of all human-produced greenhouse gases are generated by food loss and waste. That’s nearly five times the emissions from the aviation industry.

Food loss and food waste are responsible for up to 10% of global climate pollution -- and Americans waste half a billion dollars worth of groceries on Thanksgiving alone. Ideas for how we can do better: www.latimes.com/world-nation...

please do not "test" this you rubes. it wants you to do that. it is challenging you "please give me text on which to train." you marks you fools you absolute turnip truck accident victims

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Today, AABB sent an open letter to over 90 CEOs in the publishing world to express our needs from them heading into the next Trump administration.

If you agree with it, please consider sharing it with your editors and agent. The more of us who push the better our results will be.

Reading this headline my first thought was, I guess they started by AI generating four nearly identical tech bros

HR 9495 - The bill that gives the Sec. Treasury powers to strip non-profits of their C3 status - PASSED the HOUSE. But the call in efforts made a HUGE difference. The fight isn’t over.

As promised, updated scripts here for HR 9495, which will be headed back to the floor around Wednesday.

Yes, this is the bill that gives the Sec. Treasury powers to strip non-profits of their C3 status.

1. For House members,
2. For Senators,
3. For New Yorkers to call Schumer.

Please call.

Powerlessness is a strategy. Despair is a strategy. Exhaustion is a strategy. Nihilism is a strategy. Don't do a tyrant's work for him.

Fellow parents waking up each morning with that boulder on your chest, I see you. The prospect of parenting under the Trump regime is terrifying, but do your best, as ever. Know you're not alone. Find your community & know everywhere there are people fighting to protect your kids. Join the fight.

As of this morning, i have resigned from my editorial position at Jessica Kingsley Publishers, a division of Hachette. The following letter explains why.

Beyond ballots: What global social justice movements teach us about democracy, power, and possibility - Alliance magazine Today, the United States is holding pivotal elections, joining many other countries around the world facing major elections this year.

This was the first pledge I made to myself this morning. The second was to get involved with Authors Against Book Bans. Here’s the link: www.authorsagainstbookbans.com

If your name has ever been on a book cover, join us at AuthorsAgainstBookBans.com to get into the fight.

They're going to be defunding our institutions of public learning and using book bans to do it. We can't let them.
