Banned Books Week: "There is a thing about burning..."

Blogger Jeremy West invited me to do a guest post on censorship, a matter close to my heart after my spring musical was shut down senior year of high school by a complaining parent who hadn't read the play.

We fought back in a most brilliant way.

As we're doing now.

I'm so proud to be a part of the greater YA community who keep up the good fight against book banning.

What are you going to do to support banned books?
