I'm doing an Ask the Agent (Live!) event on 3/25/26. It's a Q&A format, aka, "Everything you've always wanted to know about publishing but were afraid to ask." It does cost $20, but all proceeds are going toward a residency scholarship.

With 21 States’ Attorneys General signing onto Florida’s “libraries are government speech” argument, it’s more important than ever to pass legislation nationally in support of the Freedom to Read.
Here are two bills to write your Congressperson and Senator about:
The Bunny Bin rescues stuffed animals and puts them up for adoption. 🥰 Check out this beautiful endeavor here: www.thebunnybin.com
Got over my nerves for a good cause. #aaba #bannedbooks #librarians. Thank you, dear librarians for fighting for FREADom ❤️
We are living in a time of absolute, utter madness...and too many people are unwilling to acknowledge it. My latest.

Trump's Fantasy is Crashing Down

This man is not well
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

I think we could all use a little pause in the doomscroll today 🥰
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Annnnnnnd the votes are in. 🙄😡
What a sweet way to put it. Thank you!
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Also yesterday at the end of Town Meeting I made an announcement about the Mutual Aid Community Breakfast I and some friends started. After, a young woman came up to me and said, "Are you Jo Knowles the author"? Turns out she read all my books when she was in middle school. We had a moment.🥰 #kidlit
😭❤️ You are a good daughter though. I'm sorry.
At the end of Town Meeting today a woman in her 80s stood up to share the history of the Nature Club and made a joke about the drapes in the hall to great applause. The president is a heartless monster who cares nothing for our troops or schoolchildren or anyone else and EVERYONE knows it.
I predict this man has a very bright future.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Congratulations, pal.

I want to tag every member of congress and force them to listen. Sadly, they aren't here. But thank you for this. Praying they do the right thing.
If you've found anything I've had to say about politics useful, take my word on this: Click the link below and watch from to 39:00 - 47:00 to hear combat veteran Brittany DeBarros' powerful reaction to Trump's Iran War. You don't want to miss this.

Trump promised to end wars.
He's now started more wars than any president in modern American history. Instead of affordable healthcare and groceries, the American people get to foot the billion-dollar tabs for Trump's foreign wars of choice.
"Peace through strength" is a SCAM.
I didn’t write the piece, just sharing. But thank you!
The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.
If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?
Watching "A House of Dynamite" last night was probably not the best idea given the current situation. Just thinking about the "real" people in charge right now, all absent of any morality (or competence, LBH), is quite a frightening thing.
All generative AI is bad. Anthropic is no better than OpenAI, no matter their political standing. They'll harm the environment and put huge data centers in impoverished communities too.
