Two signal boosts:

The editor of The Mammoth Book of Steampunk is looking for recs on what should be included in the collection. If you have a favorite POC-authored steampunk work, you might want to go rec it.

(List of POC-authored steampunk works that are available online; print-published works are also eligible, but I don't have a handy list for you.)



Joseph Bruchac is trying to bring Hidden Roots back into print via his own press, but Scholastic won't revert the rights back to him.

For those unfamiliar with the book, it's about an Abenaki family who has been hiding from the Vermont Eugenics Project. (Sorry for the cursory summary; I haven't yet read it.) Bruchac himself is Abenaki, and on this particular topic, I strongly desire to hear an Abenaki author. I am especially distressed to report that with Hidden Roots out of print, the only in-print MG/YA book about the Abenaki and the Vermont Eugenics Project is Darkness Under Water.

You can tell Scholastic your opinion of whether they should release the rights to Hidden Roots. Reblogging might also be helpful.
