Romantasy or dark academia? Hardcover or paperback? Library or bookstore? PEN America was on the scene and asking some hard-hitting questions at the Indie Lit Fair during #PENWorldVoices.

At the 2026 #PENGala, we asked writers about their unhinged writing habits. In the process, we learned the "very cruel" expectations Maya Hawke puts on her friends and family. And, thanks to B.J. Novak, we've put together the ultimate hack for overcoming procrastination, Ann Patchett-style.

"We are in a battle for the right to think freely," said Jelani Cobb on the red carpet at the 2026 #PENGala. But, he told us, informed participation in democracy remains possible because "the undertaking of journalism remains vibrant."

AI hasn't replaced us yet, says B. J. Novak. "Real life, real things, real ideas are on their way back. And books are at the forefront of that," said the host of the 2026 #PENGala, who brought some real-world statistics to back that up. #books #reading #bookstores

$1 billion taxpayer dollars for Trump's ballroom. The Epstein files. Attacks on voting rights and civil liberties. Judiciary Republicans have ignored it all, and instead held a hearing to peddle Islamophobic conspiracy theories. Shame.

I know it seems like November is so far away, but blink and we will be there. When there’s so much crazy happening sometimes it feels like time is moving slowly, but it’s already almost May!!

My friends here is Orange Satan accusing Democrats of killing babies at 9 months and also killing them after they are born. This is EXACTLY what we are seeing in videos from Epstein files. Everything this evil man says is a confession. He loves death! He’s seen it up close with these innocent kids.

Comcast News-MSNOW, $400K per/week power couple, were early with the 2-week 'last call. Both Joe and his 3rd wife 'high talk' that they still have phone conversations with the proven racist felon Trump. Trump's words and $2.99 won't even buy a Big-Gulp at the corner 7/11.

Why promise something you can’t deliver? Reform UK promised to cut your council tax then denied ever saying it. Nigel Farage promised £350 million for the NHS then backtracked just hours after the Brexit vote. Which promises are real and which are just words? #r4today #BBCBreakfast

Back in 2025, after Virginia Giuffre’s reported suicide, other Epstein survivors publicly stated they were not suicidal and warned they were living in fear. Juliette Bryant claimed multiple victims had died under suspicious circumstances — while mainstream media largely ignored the warnings.

As part of our parting homage to #StephenColbert, here’s an oldie, first posted a little while back when #CBS first announced the #LateShow cancellation. A fitting tribute for tonight’s finale.
