Absolutely chilling that @inlierLearning or anyone would do this. We should know from history that those who try to silence and censor artists are not on the right side of history.

Looking forward to presenting with @sam_aye_ahm, @TraceyBaptiste, and @MisterMinor at the closing general session of the American Association of School Librarians annual conference. Thank you to @diversebooks and @aasl for coordinating this and for all that you do. #AASL #AASL23
Fantastic conversation today on Big Books and Bold Ideas with authors @kellyyanghk, @mattdelapena and @sam_aye_ahm about what it's like to have your book be banned. Listen online or look for MPR News with Kerri Miller in your favorite podcast app. mprnews.org/episode/2023/1…
“Samira Ahmed and Sona Charaipotra’s MAGIC HAS NO BORDERS is, in fact, a strong collection of great stories. Get it, read it, love it.” @QueenOfRats reviews the new anthology edited by @sona_c & @sam_aye_ahm locusmag.com/2023/10/alex-b…
Thank you to @scottieandrew at @CNN for this exceptional article -- "Book bans are Surging — and Taking an Emotional Toll on Many Authors and for centering voices such as @KyleLukoff, @sam_aye_ahm, and @TorreyMaldonado. cnn.com/2023/10/04/sty…
“Don’t let hate crush your creativity,” she said. “Don’t let them take away your shine.” - Hollow Fires by @sam_aye_ahm thenovl.com/hollowfires
As book bans spread, WNDB is here to protect your freedom to read diversely. When we awarded our Books Save Lives grants this year, we were prepared to defend the titles we gave to the winning schools. And last week, we traveled to Niles, MI with @sam_aye_ahm to do just that.
I know no one is on this site any more but I’m really sick the week of my book launch and will probably have to cancel or make hybrid some events - I’m just devastated, feeling like my eco fantasy The Poison Waves won’t get to kids. Pre-orders boosts etc all deeply appreciated 🙏🏾
I am thrilled and slightly terrified to announce the cover reveal of my next book, MAX IN THE HOUSE OF SPIES, my first historical fiction since The Inquisitor’s Tale. nerdybookclub.wordpress.com/2023/09/28/cov…
I, along with many other #MsMarvel fans, have concerns about the direction that @Marvel is taking #KamalaKhan. I interviewed by email 10 Ms. Marvel fans for their thoughts, including among my own. Thank you all so much.

We need authors to be speaking up and speaking out at school board meetings. We need authors showing up. It’s no longer enough to post on social, sign an open-letter or online petition, or make a vid saying you’re against book bans and censorship. We need authors showing up.

💜 COVER REVEAL 💜 We’re delighted to share the cover for Four Eids and a Funeral by @faridahlikestea and @adiba_j! Cover art by @Ursuladecayart. Design by @suchdainties. This romantic YA novel comes out 6/4/24 from @FierceReads. Get a closer look here: bit.ly/4514MBO
The “news” that a deal may be reached today makes me think the exact opposite tbh. It’s a way to raise hope & make the disappointment if it doesn’t happen more quickly slide into despair. As always, until it comes from the WGA don’t believe a thing—especially arbitrary timelines
So thrilled to be a part of this incredible YA anthology!! 💗💗💗
The image on the left is their tweet. The image on the right is their truth. They’re seeking the eliminationism of queer kids. They’re trying to kill us. We’re not going to change hearts and minds. We need collective action. We need allying the verb. We need you in this fight.

@sam_aye_ahm Months later, a quick update - Exit West was such a great book! The escape doors…one of the rare times when there are not words to express the feelings the book left me with. Like my chest is expanded beyond the borders of my body, hollowed, but also somehow very full? Thank you

As book bans spread, WNDB is here to protect your freedom to read diversely. When we awarded our Books Save Lives grants this year, we were prepared to defend the titles we gave to the winning schools. And last week, we traveled to Niles, MI with @sam_aye_ahm to do just that.
