South Dakota is introducing a bill (HB1239) to criminalize librarians and teachers. They will be criminally charged if young audiences check out a book that the government deems unsuitable or inappropriate.

An editor turned down your manuscript?
DON'T PANIC.
Not every editor is the right fit for every manuscript—and that’s a good thing.
When an editor says they might not be the right fit, it’s not about rejecting your book. It’s about making sure you get the best editing experience.
