The best way to teach reading is a topic that has been hotly debated for many decades. If the past is any indicator, we’re going to be fighting about it for decades to come. It’s worth arguing about because literacy is important. Roughly 21% of American adults are illiterate. Illiteracy has harmful impacts on health,

As someone with a couple annoying food allergies, I end up cooking most of my own meals at home, even before the pandemic made eating out more difficult. I try to eat healthy, whole foods including lots of vegetables and stay away from processed foods laden with additives (some of which I’m allergic to). I

In November, we posted an article about Alan Dean Foster fighting Disney for owed royalties from Alien and Star Wars tie-in books he wrote. Apparently, after Disney acquired the copyright licenses for these books, they continued to publish them–but not pay royalties. The SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) brought the discussion public

Growing up, one of my favourite films was UHF starring Weird Al Yankovic. As an 8-year-old, it felt like a movie that I wasn’t supposed to be watching. It was subversive, weird, and punk rock. In the film, George (Yankovic) takes over a fledgling UHF television station. To get it back on its feet, he

Pen names, pseudonyms, a nom de plume: whatever you call it, they’re a staple of writing. Authors have been using them for thousands of years, with a range of motivations. Pseudonyms have been used to disguise the author’s identity to escape criticism or even prosecution when the works in question are critical of those in

Recommending authors like Carmen María Machado is a difficult thing to do. I’ve read both In the Dream House and Her Body and Other Parties and I can’t categorize either of them in one single genre. Machado’s writing is a beautiful mishmash of things, I guess that’s why even she describes both her books as

Throughout this long year-that’s-been-a-decade, most of us have whiled away an afternoon dreaming of what we’ll do when it’s over.

If ever a month were the month to celebrate the written word, it’s April. Between celebrating poetry in all of its forms and Shakespeare’s birthday, there’s just a lot to love about literature.

Growing up, daydreaming was a common activity for me. Yes, I read, watched movies, and participated in some sort of athletic activity, but when that was all over, I’d let my mind wander. A daydream always started with a book or something funny that happened earlier that day. Often, I could simply daydream about the
