Officials in Rapid City, South Dakota, are threatening to destroy books meant for high school seniors. If you have been affected by this or any other book ban, we are offering a space where you can share your experiences. Students, parents, teachers, and residents are all invited. You can write under a pen name for privacy. Submissions can be any length, but some degree of brevity is appreciated. Send your work to bannedbooks@mcsweeneys.net.
Handyperson Needed
We need a handyperson to help us with some of the carpentry and finish work in the new International Library of Youth Writing at McSweeney’s headquarters in San Francisco. Click for details.
