The thing I keep coming back to is that: I understand if a librarian needs to separate out certain books because displaying them will put them in danger. I really, really do. But I fundamentally don't think that is a call the publisher should be making for them.
I've been sitting with the news that Scholastic is self-censoring their Book Fairs since Tuesday. On Thursday I was invited to speak at a Scholastic Graphix party, and this is what I said. It's an earnest plea for the company with whom I have made so many books to do better.
Happy #BookBirthday to the new Baby-sitters Club graphic novel adapted by Eisner-nominated cartoonist Ellen T. Crenshaw! Get a copy of The Baby-Sitters Club: Stacey’s Mistake by Ann M. Martin and @etcillustration today!
I worked with Shivana on Stacey's Mistake & she has great communication and mediation skills, design & color instincts. Just an incredibly talented person & if you're hiring you couldn't do better than snapping her up.

I’m afraid I have some bad news. After ten years of publishing, The Nib is going to close down this summer. Thank you for reading all these years. It's been an honor.

Could not be more crushed that the @thenib is closing its doors. They took a risk on me before anyone was really reading me. I doubt I’d be where I’m at if they hadn’t let me go off on subjects no one else would pay me to make.

Our sudden end is a great opportunity to give us the pity vote in the Eisners even though it's a garbage award show. If we win I'll try to get Bors to pants that SVA professor everyone's mad at
Woo! @thenib has been nominated for an Eisner! Cartoonists, please vote for us in the Best Anthology category, it would mean so much to get this special gong after nearly a decade publishing! 💖🙏 comicsbeat.com/2023-eisner-a…
The Nib has been a daily mainstay for me as a reader and a wonderful employer for me as a cartoonist. This is a devastating loss.
I'm so very grateful The Nib was a thing. If it must go, I'm glad it'll go out with the level of quality it deserves.

Special shout out to @elerimai with whom I worked the most & whose comics I deeply admire.
Also @AndyComics for our infrastructure comic, @WhitTaylorComix & @Lubchansky whose work I read voraciously, and @MattBors for making sure from day 1 that my work was protected & valued ❤️
