Do these people realize how much more this endangers young girls than having a trans kid on the team?

Four of the Big Five Publishers Sign Letter Urging Congress to Restore IMLS
Shuttering IMLS would be "an act of monumental neglect, violating the very foundation of America and what it stands for as a country," the publishers assert.

If you've ever been impressed by something PRH did to fight book bans, it's because Skip fought for it to happen.
💯 No one has been more central to the publishing industry’s efforts to fight censorship than Skip Dye. Thank you to Skip and the entire PRH team for your generosity, expertise & tireless commitment to defending the freedom to read & supporting libraries.

Despite a paper trail proving otherwise, Unbound’s administrators claimed they still owned the rights to Effin’ Birds and threatened to sue Penguin Random House if PRH paid me any royalties for my ongoing book sales. Wasn’t resolved until two months ago.
They tried to bankrupt me out of spite.

If you ever get pissed off about me mentioning my books on here & decide to complain about it, do remember as I instantly block you that I'm coming from the perspective of someone who had £20,000+ of earnings stolen from him by his ex-publishers & could not give less of a flying fuck what you think.
BIG NEWS: I have a new short story collection coming out in September & I'm doing it a different way, publishing it in collaboration with the new collective @breakthroughbook.bsky.social. You can read about it - & assist with printing costs by ordering a copy - here: www.tom-cox.com/my-next-book...

I’m literally speechless. What an absolutely, patently stupid move from PRH. We are hugely poorer for it.

That’s wonderful! I hope PRH will commit to not using AI in the creation of covers, audiobooks, translations, marketing, editing, copy-editing, or proofreading, or basically anywhere else in the process.
