Dear Banned Author Letter-Writing Campaign

Write a letter (or tweet) to a banned or challenged author, telling them about a favorite title or how their words have impacted you.  The American Library Association has the following suggestions:

  • Include the hashtag #DearBannedAuthor. This allows the American Library Association to find and share your stories.
  • Discussing how the book impacted your life, made you feel, or your favorite quotes
  • Posting a photo of you reading the book or of your postcard
  • Blurring or covering up your own address or private information before sharing pictures of postcards
