Today was my last day at Storytide/HarperCollins! The last four years were filled with great books, authors and an amazing team, so they’ll truly be missed! Currently, not going to another house / staying in publishing but who knows, our paths will cross somehow, someday ✍️📝👀

Do you know how difficult it was to not accidentally reveal this name to people in casual conversation

Anyway, yay news! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
The Storytide name evokes the development of good storytelling. “The best stories ebb and flow, just as tides do—with beginnings and endings, highs and lows—and offer readers renewal, hope, and change,” Weikum said. “While readers will find a broad variety of stories and perspectives on our list, that shared belief in the power of story is a common thread through the titles we’re acquiring and publishing.” “With over two decades of bestselling, award-winning, and critically acclaimed books to her credit, Tara has built a stellar list with a clear point of view that consistently delivers,” Rich Thomas, senior VP and executive director of publishing, HarperCollins Children’s Books, said in a statement. She is supported by executive editors Amy Cloud and Kristin Rens, editor Sarah Homer, and editorial assistants Christian Vega and Briana Wood, all of whom make up the imprint’s team.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

The Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) planned to put out a statement supporting Israel while it commits genocide. Danielle Monique spoke up and was fired for insubordination. We have to do better in the kid lit community.
A call to action: Our organizing sister Danielle Monique has posted this brave and insightful essay on her experience working at the Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). We salute her courage and honesty. KEY POINTS INCLUDE: —SCBWI leadership planned to put out a post supporting Israel as it was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. —After Daniel Monqiue spoke about this and other forms of zionism and racism at the org, SCBWI fired her for “insubordination.” — The CA Civil Rights Board has opened a case on SCBWI related to this While this is not a call for a full boycott of SCBWI, we urge members of the kid lit community to consider how we use our platforms, who we uplift, what messages we're sending with our words and actions. SPEAK OUT! Over a year ago the children of Gaza held a press conference to beg the world to stop the genocide against them. The world, including SCBWI and PEN America, ignored them. But we don't have to. SPEAK OUT! We believe the kid lit community needs to have an open, honest dialogue about organizations that represent us openly supporting genocide, including the murder of tens of thousands of children, and internally punishing pro-Palestinian voices. We cannot claim to be on the side of humanity, or children, or freedom, on the one hand and support all the opposite things with our actions. When we continue to invest our energy, time, money, creativity, and names to organizations that support genocide, we deepen our own complicity and help whitewash the ongoing atrocities We believe we can do better, as authors, illustrators, readers, publishers, a community, we can do better. We can choose where we give our resources, how we speak out, how we respond to silence and silencing.
