Message from Michael Howes Honored to share that this year’s Boyds Mills Katey Howes Maker Scholarship has been awarded to Jennifer Walker. Katey believed in the power of stories and helping young people find their voice, Jennifer’s work reflects that beautifully.

I’m incredibly honored to receive the State of Utah’s “Teen Book Hero Award” for outstanding dedication to promoting children’s literacy, presented by Operation Literacy. Early literacy is so important, which is why I’ve dedicated the last four years of my life to celebrating stories and doing my part to ensure all kids have access to new, diverse books. Thank you to everyone for supporting my journey. #readingcommunity #literacy #Sacramento @GivingTuesday

Man oh man I’m so honored to have made the preliminary ballot for the Stoker. Huge congrats to all the other MG writers

When I was fresh out of college about to start my first publishing job at Penguin Random House, I was in awe of the writers I met. Not just the chart-topping bestsellers. Also the debuts! Here are the top 5 (hard) lessons they taught me about what it REALLY takes to write a novel. 👇

We’re celebrating Where the Deer Slip Through for being selected as one of Kirkus’ Best Picture Books of the Year! A lyrical journey through nature, brought to life with breathtaking illustrations. See the full list here. kirkusreviews.com/best-of/2025/p…

My name is Ethan Minton. I'm a teen literacy advocate and the founder of E Train Talks, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. For the last four years, through class visits and community events, I’ve been working to help end book deserts by giving new books to underprivileged kids and teens who need them most. I want every young reader to feel the power of reading and discover the magic of stories. As the year wraps up, I’m hoping to partner with companies that believe in the power of reading. Your support will help put new books in the hands of kids who need them most. Find out more at etraintalks.org. Here’s the donation page:  paypal.com/us/fundraiser/… All giving is tax-deductible, and your year-end donations will go to making an impact on a child's future. Thank you!

@ETrainsWorld @SacCountyCA @SacramentoInfo Congratulations on the wonderful accomplishment!

For the second year in a row, E Train Talks has been voted Sacramento’s #1 Youth Development Program! I’m unbelievably grateful to everyone who voted for me and for the ongoing support I receive. Being recognized in my community means so much. I hope to continue doing whatever I can to shine a light on many more amazing stories & most importantly, spread book joy to children everywhere, especially to kids who lack reading resources and need the gift of stories the most! Thank you Sacramento Favorites and @sacbee_news for this award & recognition. ⭐️ #SacramentoProud #readingcommunity #literacyadvocate #BookTwitter
