Join us in calling out Davis Co. School District officials for their lack of transparency when banning books. Send an email today and tell them it's not okay to remove books without explanation to district parents, voters, and taxpayers. letdavisread.org/emaildsdboa…

I was on a panel last week to discuss reading freedom and banned books in Utah alongside other members of the @LUWriters, @LetUtahRead, and Christian McKay Heidecker. It's worth a watch, I think. Especially if you're @KenIvoryUT #UtPol youtube.com/watch?v=XU39gJGY…

This screening is TONIGHT!, if you want to see our past-president's short film. The script won our Olive Woolley Burt Award this year. Go support him! mentalhealthyfit.org/focuson…

Hey, if you're in the SLC area, my film is premiering tomorrow night at a screening at the Marmalade library. I would love to see ALL of you there. It would be nice for some friendly faces to be in the audience. mentalhealthyfit.org/focuson…

In the new @CityWeekly, I wrote a direct response to @KenIvoryUT’s disingenuous, lie-filled “defense” of Utah’s draconian book banning through the lens of Craig Thompson’s masterpiece from @DandQ, Blankets. (cc @LetUtahRead @LUWriters) cityweekly.net/utah/the-case…

Listen to the authors of Utah— STOP banning books! @LetUtahRead!
Utah officially banned 13 books from its public schools last week — including works by some of the most widely read authors of our time: Sarah J. Maas, Judy Blume, Margaret Atwood, and Rupi Kaur. Stop the insanity! How you can help: letutahread.org/stopbookbans

Great work!
Since I have COVID, I couldn't be at the @LUWriters Quills Awards Banquet tonight, but that doesn't mean I didn't win some awards for my writing, bestowed by peers here in Utah.

You all have your tickets for Quills, right?!
I'll be teaching at the @LUWriters Quills Conference in August. I'd love to see folks there. It's genuinely my favorite writing conference in the country and not just because it's in my backyard. @MauriceBroaddus and @ShvetaThakrar are guests of honor! leagueofutahwriters.com/quil…
