PW gives you a fairly limited scope for pitching but some additional facts for those curious:

- it’s a dybbuk story
- it takes place in the 1870s in a small city that isn’t Berdichev
- there’s a dog

I sent them a letter as a concerned author saying that libraries are a place where kids can get information and stories that have been assessed for quality and appropriateness, and if they don’t have the library they can and will find things on the internet that have NOT been vetted by anyone
In Murfreesboro, TN they are currently trying to make both "public homosexuality" illegal AND ban books with LGBTQ content for kids.

If you'd like to do a small thing today, you could drop their public library an email in support of titles like Flamer, and This Book Is Gay.

I would like to urge anyone who can make a donation to Palentine Children's Relief Fund to do so. The PCRF is one of the ways that those of us who oppose genocide can do to help the children of Palestine immediately.

My heart is absolutely in pieces.
PCRF
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund was established in 1992 by concerned humanitarians in the USA to bring injured and sick children for free medical care they could not get locally

Who wants to take my concept for a Yom Kippur themed romcom where the third act crisis is they’re both so hangry they have an incredibly foolish fight after YK Torah service. WILL THEY KISS BEFORE NEILAH? of course they will it’s a romcom

It's really important to get in touch with your local reps and express support for freedom to read. Books about POC are not "CRT" and books about queer folk aren't "pornography." Drop your library director, library board, city council, and mayor a line. The other side absolutely is, we should too.
welcome to Right Now, some reminders:
- be kind to as many librarians and teachers as you can
- if you are able, vote in your local elections for school board and library funding
- if you are ALSO able, get involved with your local libraries
- be safe out there, it’s wild, and not the fun kind
