We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

I’m SO excited to share the cover for AT THE COOKOUT, my author-illustrator debut, coming April 7, 2026!

Maybe the plagiarism machines use em-dashes because they stole copyrighted work from writers like me who freakin' love em-dashes and use them in all our books.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

ENCHANTED TO MEET YOU is publishing in the US with Harper Teen ☺️🥳 so exited to share it with more readers @jemiscoe.bsky.social

Today's Supreme Court decision, though couched in the language of freedom and inclusivity, is a tragic failure for both the right to read and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. Authors Against Book Bans stands firmly and fiercely against the decision and its rationale. To allow parents to "object" to the presence of positive books about the lives and rights of LGBTQIA+ people is to allow them to "object" to the existence of LGBTQIA+ students, parents, educators, and others in the wider community. You cannot “opt out” of reality, no matter what today’s majority opinion states. These books belong on shelves and these stories belong in classrooms and curricula.

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up.

I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

I am thrilled to announce my new book THE NIGHTMARE KEEPER. An adult dark paranormal romance set in an alternative Salem Massachusetts where magic and witches are commonplace, but some magics are still feared. 🌕🔮

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Isn’t it?? I love it 🥹

🎢🎅🏼COVER REVEAL🏰🎄
I’m so excited to share the cover of A KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS coming out November 6 2025 Louisa Cannell did such an incredible illustration. All the little details are so prefect and I can’t wait for readers to step back inside this world!

We love to see it

Writing a novel right now feels like I'm doing it on the deck of the Titanic as a comet is headed to Earth and also I'm covered in fire ants. I'm sure it's fine. Just don't blame me if every fifth paragraph is something like WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IS ANYBODY EVEN READING THIS OH GOD

"I'm here despite his speech. I'm here, because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." Booker says about beating Strom Thurmond's record

Happy Valentine’s Day

I'm on Libby everyday. Literally listening to The Sequel, borrowed from my library, as I write this!
Sending love to libraries and librarians this Valentine's Day (and every day)!

As a guide I created this fun little graphic that shows the lands and their locations.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

THE meme of 2025 for me.
