An open letter to Brian Murphy, CEO of #HarperCollins
Re: #HCPonstrike @hcpunion
We’ll keep this brief. Pretty sure your inbox is overflowing these days.
We’ve both had the privilege of being longtime authors with HarperCollins. (1/6)

Someone graciously checked me on this, and I want to make a correction— my definition of under-represented voices extends to white or white appearing under-represented authors, of which there are many. BiPoc would probably have been the better term to use here. My apologies!

As always, I want fiction (adult, YA, kidlit) from under-represented voices. That means non-white, queer, disabled and neurodiverse. And I want the story *you* want to tell. That's burning for *you*.

So, we watched the first ep of Wednesday, and while I think the cast is stellar, it feels odd to see the Addamses among other "weirdoes." I think they work better juxtaposed against normie suburbia.

I've said it before, but send me those dangerous, life-saving stories. I want stories that move readers, moments that make me look up and say “Wow, yes. I’ve felt that.”

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

We're hitting the point where every tweet could be your LAST TWEET.
Anyway, just a reminder that the estimated cost to end child hunger in America is $25 billion dollars, about half of what Elon paid for Twitter.

It was always my dream to write about book publishing once I left it. Thanks to @mariskreizman and @vulture for giving me the chance to cover the most compelling story in publishing this fall. vulture.com/2022/11/passion-…
