The Authors Guild thanks Hachette for supporting our important work to combat the removal of books in our nation’s schools and libraries. The Guild has worked for over 100 years to promote free speech and ensure that our literary culture reflects a diversity of voices. The recent book banning efforts are specifically designed to suppress the diversity of voices in schools and libraries; and with Hachette’s generous support, we shall be able to expand our campaign to fight this suppression.
