Forex 5 books with LBYR (Hachette) (great editors!) but only 3 had proper copyrights, and yet Hachette, who did not file the proper copyrights, are asking for a share of the 3 that remain, after costing me 2. It's annoying.

Hi yall! I'm Gabriela! I write books about stressed out Latinas and awkwardness and all the types of love. My debut novel comes out with LBYR in 2026.
Hit me with a line from a book/TV show/poem that you wish you wrote.

Is there a place we can write in to protest this imprint? I want to not purchase from any of Hachette's imprints but LBYR, RP, and Workman all have quality kidlit for my library's collection.

This is so exciting! Caitlyn worked on some of my LBYR books and is such a sweetie and this sounds sooooo good!
So effing proud of my friend and former assistant, @craverett.bsky.social, for her recent book deal! She’s a rock star!

Did you know there are dyslexic friendly fonts? Little, Brown Books for Young Readers was kind enough to print our middle grade novel, Confessions of a Mango, in Lexend, so it’s easier to read. There is an audiobook too! You can get both on 4/14/26. #LBYR #dyslexia #middlegrade #kidlit
