Hey literary activists!
We’re making a little change to this newsletter, thanks to its growing popularity and usefulness. Instead of receiving your newsletter every other week, you’ll be getting it every week on Friday. Grab your beverage of choice and keep up with the latest in all things getting involved and making meaningful change in the world of books. Be it the curated list of book bans or a guide to how to get involved in your local library’s Friends group, the content you have come to love will remain — you’ll just be getting it more frequently.
To facilitate the change and to ensure that the newsletter reaches the widest audience possible, we’re also moving over to Substack. You don’t need to do anything. You will automatically be subscribed there. This change is especially exciting, as it will make the information within the newsletter easier for people to discover and share.
No need to worry, though: we will not be putting this newsletter behind a paywall. If you’ve read the weekly book censorship roundups, you know that one of the reasons book bans are thriving is because so much of the information about what is happening is thrown behind a paywall. We believe in open access to information you need to make change in your community and to stay aware of what is happening. Instead, we will offer all subscribers the option to support the newsletter simply because you value it.
We’ll start sending Literary Activism every week starting June 23.
Keep fighting the good fight, and we’ll see you over on Substack soon.
