A Move to Maryland

Due to increasingly oppressive legislation against me as an author, and my family as human beings, I have moved from Indiana to Maryland. I will update my Appearances page as soon as possible to reflect that. While school visits fees in Indiana will remain low ($300 or less depending on region,) I will unfortunately have to charge for travel and board for events in Indiana from this point forward. I regret being unable to continue to offer low-to-no cost visits for disadvantaged students in my home state. It’s not what I would have chosen, but the Indiana State Legislature chose for me.

Challenge Statements

I am aware that my books, ALL OUT, OUT NOW, OUT THERE and ALL THE THINGS WE DO IN THE DARK, are currently being challenged all over the United States. For those who would like a statement from the author about these challenges, I offer one for the anthologies and one for ALL THE THINGS.

For those who would like a short, simple soundbyte, my statement is this, something I have heard author Holly Black say often:

Not every book is for every kid, but every kid deserves a book.
