Sad you missed preordering a signed, personalized ONE FOR ALL hardcover back in March? Well, you're in luck!
As part of the @diversebooks Holiday Auction and Books Save Lives initiative, there's a signed/personalized ONE FOR ALL hardcover up for auction!
e.givesmart.com/events/tEB/i/_… I will personalize it however you want!
Potential ideas:
Favorite quote(s), a very bad sword doodle, "DOWN WITH ABLEISM," something related to #sisterhoodofthestabstab, something related to Mademoiselle la Mousquetaire.
Or just your name! That's fine too!

YA authors: I'm worried that I've written a main character too dramatic to be considered realistic

I don't have words for how horrified and repulsed I am by that garbage POTS study.
This kind of stuff is why I was so ashamed and terrified of telling anyone I was chronically ill. This is why I will be unpacking internalized ableism for the rest of my life. I could write a very long thread about why this kind of BS in the medical and scientific community surrounding POTS defined my adolescence and made me into the writer and person I am today, but ONE FOR ALL's author's note says it best.

I'm not saying that *every* book you include in a #DisabilityPrideMonth post has to be written by an openly disabled author... but maybe at least half the list/stack of books should be? And if it isn't, you should reflect on why that is? Also maybe read what disabled folks have said about the representation in the titles you're featuring?
Seeing books with actively harmful representation be recommended for #DisabilityPrideMonth over books by disabled authors writing about their lived experiences is a gut punch.

I feel like I blinked and all of a sudden Disabled Kidlit Writers went from 30 authors to nearing 300. What a gift this group has been. What an absolute gift it's been, this past year and a half, to cheer on all these talented authors.
I will be forever thankful. The day Disabled Kidlit Writers went live, I received a pass on ONE FOR ALL. Like many of the previous passes, much of it was praise of the book, my writing, what OFA would represent. But that, when it came down to it, they didn't know how to fit OFA on their list/market it.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
