@silviamg How do you write a critically acclaimed fiction novel? 📚

"I generally have a skeleton idea and I build up on top of that," @silviamg tells @StevePadilla2, sharing her writing process during tonight's @latimesbooks event twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@silviamg @StevePadilla2 @latimesbooks The book publishing industry has always "defaulted" to illustrations of fair-skinned, white characters, says @silviamg.

She says putting brown women on the front of her critically acclaimed book was very intentional — for a number of reasons.

Watch here: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@silviamg @StevePadilla2 @latimesbooks What's the greatest challenge you've overcome as a writer?

@silviamg: "I remember when they told me I should change my name because I was 'never going to make it' as Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Just existing as a Latino writer has been my greatest challenge" 📚twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Originally from Boyle Heights, skateboarder and model Briana King escaped a turbulent home life by taking off to Australia at just 18. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
While abroad, King built up her modeling portfolio, going on to pose for the likes of Calvin Klein, Dior and Prada. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
When she returned to the U.S. in 2017, she found a new way to manage the anxiety that had been buzzing inside her since childhood: skateboarding. The hobby gave her an edge, and something she never realized she needed before — a community. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…

On paper, the @Lakers look to be a team light on shooting and size on the wings. And Russell Westbrook, the team’s signature acquisition one year ago, is back — but no one has made it seem like that was the perfect outcome to the summer. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…
LeBron's pursuit of Kareem's NBA scoring record could be the story of the season.

Yet James has never been one to settle for individual achievement.

@Lakers still be playing meaningful games by the time he scores those historic points? latimes.com/sports/lakers/…
“Whether they want me here or not doesn’t really matter, honestly,” Russell Westbrook said Monday.

The parties had all summer to find a path forward from last season’s nightmare. Yet they're still stuck in a bitter, baffling place, @BillPlaschke writes. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…

"What bothers us is that almost no one in the Newsom administration seems to be discussing the overlapping issues of climate change, forest management and housing in a comprehensive way."

Columnists @Erika_D_Smith and @anitachabria tackle the topic: latimes.com/california/sto…
"Even as alarms are sounded about aridification, severe drought stretches another year and predictions emerge about a ‘megaflood’ displacing millions of Californians, a statewide land use plan remains a pipe dream," write @Erika_D_Smith and @anitachabria. latimes.com/environment/st…
"Instead of heading off a worsening, if undeclared war between urban and rural communities over increasingly scarce resources, we’ve been left with competing public policy imperatives," write @Erika_D_Smith and @anitachabria. Jonathan Kusel, founder and executive director of the Sierra

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 13 abortion protection and reproductive health bills Tuesday, codifying the final pieces of California’s campaign to counter the effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
latimes.com/california/sto…
The newly signed laws aim to increase the number of abortion providers, provide financial assistance to patients and clinics, increase outreach and strengthen legal protections — all for residents living in and out of the state.

California officials began preparing a year ago for the potential effects of Roe vs. Wade being overturned. latimes.com/california/sto…

"We know it might sound far-fetched that a changing climate could one day force California to abandon entire towns in high-risk fire zones."

"But it’s really not."

From columnists @Erika_D_Smith and @anitachabria:
latimes.com/california/sto…
"Not when most of both Lake and Butte counties have gone up in flames multiple times in the past few years, displacing and sometimes killing residents."

"Not when 8 of the 10 largest wildfires in the state’s history have occurred in the last 5 years." latimes.com/california/sto…
Southern California is prone to its fair share of disasters, but it is in Northern California where catastrophic wildfires aren’t just likely, but certain to destroy remote small towns for decades to come. latimes.com/california/sto…
