Stack of books on a table with titles redacted by black bars. Headline reads: "The Normalization of Book Banning: What's Happening. What Can Be Done." PEN America logo appears at bottom.
🧵 In 2025, book censorship in the United States is rampant and common. Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country.

Anyone interested in an #AskAgent elliptical session?
Post questions below and I’ll do my best to get them while on the elliptical.

A movie-style poster. The background is a tall light on a sandy beach at dusk. In a circle on the upper left is a head of a young man, and on the right is a circle with the head of a curly-haired young girl. There are several lines of text. The first line reads “There’s a dark undercurrent in this seaside town.” The second line reads “Bludeye Beach. No one walks home alone at night.” The final block of text at the bottom reads “Available now in query trenches near you. Debut novel from local cryptid enthusiast Eliwood S. Gheist. Prolonged reading may lead to slow burn romances, found families, and an urge to check under your bed. Recommended for fans of Nettle & Bone and Camp Damascus.”
