Hey, middle grade & young adult writers, get a critique from Author Vivi Barnes @ViviBarnes! See writeoncon.org/critique-bout… for details. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amquerying #kidlit #writersoftwitter
Representation matters! Check out this interview of @NovicSara as she discusses her latest book, True-Biz. wnyc.org/story/true-biz-depi…
Pah! Touch-finish reading True Biz by @NovicSara one week from starting. No spoilers, but even after 25+ years immersed in the Deaf community, this book took me into chambers of its Deaf heart I hadn’t yet explored. Don’t “train-go-sorry!” Get yourself a copy!
I pre-ordered True Biz by @NovicSara back in Sept and it arrived today! Can’t wait to get my hands and eyes on the ink of this novel set in the halls of a residential school for the Deaf!

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

How do we nurture and care for Deaf and disabled kids in our families, our communities? @Scholastic
Riveting, delicately nuanced, and fervently feminist, SET ME FREE by @annclezotte is a masterful standalone companion to SHOW ME A SIGN. Start reading this searing middle grade novel that questions our understanding of ability and disability ➡ bit.ly/3iz95PA
