As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

I have a new pet peeve. When you are in a #broadway theater DO NOT lean forward in your seat. Even if you are in the balcony. People behind you can not see. Then the people behind Them can not see either. This is basic theater etiquette.
