Today, we’re pleased to spotlight a really unique book from Scholastic: The Letter Q: Queer Writers’ Notes to Their Younger Selves.
In this anthology, sixty-four award-winning authors and illustrators such as Michael Cunningham, Amy Bloom, Jacqueline, Woodson, Terrence McNally, Gregory Maguire, David Levithan, and Armistead Maupin, make imaginative journeys into their pasts, telling their younger selves what they would have liked to know then about their lives as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people. Through stories, in pictures, with bracing honesty, these are words of love, messages of understanding, reasons to hold on for the better future ahead. They will tell you things about your favorite authors that you never knew before. And they will tell you about yourself.
To celebrate this month’s release of The Letter Q, we’re hosting a great contest, with prizes sponsored by Scholastic!
