It's Banned Books Week. If you are an author, please join @authorsabb.bsky.social! If you work in the publishing industry, please join @pubprosabb.bsky.social! Canadian authors, you can now join Canadian Authors & Illustrators Against Book bans: linktr.ee/caiabb. Working together feels good! 📚✍️👏
The black and white cover of a zine titled Do you make books? Yes? I want YOU to join Authors Against Book Bans! By Maia Kobabe. The image shows author Maia Kobabe holding a stack of books and pointing at the reader
WHAT IS AABB? 
A coalition of writers, illustrators, editors & other book creators, standing united against the unconstitutional movement to limit the freedom to read. We support the availability of diverse voices in our libraries, in our schools, & in our culture. We pledge to band together against the oppression of literature, to speak when our voices are silenced, to go where our bodies are needed, & to fight to ensure this freedom.

Our concern is not only for the books, but for the children, families, educators,
librarians, & communities who suffer when the freedom to read is challenged and taken away.

WHAT CAN AABB OFFER YOU? 
- Regional groups working on legislation to protect authors & the freedom to read state-by-state
- Online trainings on digital security, public speaking, & how to counter book challenges in your community
-Affinity groups for BIPOC authors, queer authors, authors with disabilities, indie, nonfiction, romance writers & more
-Support if your book is challenged or your school visit is canceled!
-A very active discord community
Person: What if my book hasn’t been challenged? 
Maia: JOIN!
Person: Ok, but what if I’m really busy and can’t do much organizing right now? 
Maia: JOIN ANYWAY! 

Even if all you do is sign up, your membership will help lend weight to the letters & statements AABB sends out. As of fall 2025, AABB has nearly 5000 members. Check out the open letter to publishers on AABB’s socials & feel free to share it with your publishing & industry contacts. 

An Open Letter to Our Publishers- instagram.com/p/DCzYmKcR8uq
Maia: I’ve been facing intense challenges to my book since 2021. Knowing that I am not alone in the fight against censorship is what keeps my spirits up! 

Watching the folks in AABB share information, co-write legislation, show up to library & school board meetings, & speak up to publishers about the need to protect diverse books & minority authors has been amazing! 

This is a weird & scary time to be an author, but you are not alone! Join thousands of us fighting for the freedom to read, the freedom to write, the freedom to teach, the freedom to learn, & the freedom to share our stories!
-Maia Kobabe, 2025

a boy with lion ears, a tail, paw-hands, and feathery wings wearing a cute pastel outfit, sitting on top of a giant flan pudding. His hair resembles frosting with sprinkles on it. He's holding a giant cherry he bit into. There are giant strawberries in the background.

I had such a wonderful time at @peoplesbooktakoma.com with @sarahpeitzmeier.bsky.social & Frances Reed! We left many signed copies of Gender Queer and Breathe: Journeys to Healthy Binding there, & the bookstore is now carrying a selection of my zines as well! A must visit if you are in the area.
a yellow sandwich sign on a brick street corner which reads "People's Book- Here be Books Bout Dragons, open 9 to 8 Daily" A picture of authors Sarah Peitzmeier and Maia Kobabe, both dressed very cute and smiling, sitting in yellow armchairs in front of a yellow People's Book sign in the corner of the bookstore during an author talk Three authors each holding a copy of their books standing in front of big windows and yellow armchairs in the bookstore People's Book in Takoma Park, Maryland. From left to right are: Frances Reed (a white nonbinary person with a swoop of gray hair, glasses, and a big smile), Sarah Peitzmeier (an Asian American woman in a chic black dress, glasses, big smile and asymmetrical haircut) and Maia Kobabe, (a white nonbinary person with short brown hair, smile, black and pink floral button up and red shorts). This was taken at a joint book event on September 12, 2025. A large white painted brick wall leading into a parking lot under a blue evening sky. On the wall is a big painted yellow arrow with the signs People's Book, Tonal Park and Takoma Radio, 7014 Westmoreland Ave
