Oh thank you so much, that's so kind!

"Stop asking why schools don’t have bullet proof glass & metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools HAVE to. That’s the question that needs to be asked”

When I was teaching 7th grade a student’s dad came up to me in the grocery store once & told me he was worried about his son.

“He keeps…” He paused here, and sighed. “…reading graphic novels all the time. What should I do?”

My answer?

“Get him more graphic novels.”

So gross

Screenshot of article with the headline: New Publisher Spines aims to disrupt industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone.

This is not how books work. It's not a quantity game. Reading is an intensely focused act. Readers notice everything. You should see the letters we get. You can't chase trends, you have to set them, and that requires intuition, and the ability to spell Strawberry.

Thanks so much, Brian! www.megauchenbach.com
