☆ Book bans don’t often boost sales. They bury them, authors say
  + stars: | 2023-10-04 | by ( Scottie Andrew | Author Opportunities | School Visits To Future Books | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +16 min
As a result, books like “Call Me Max” have been challenged or outright removed from schools and libraries in Florida, as well as other states — and though some believe book bans lead to more book sales, authors say the effect of those bans is devastating for their careers. These bans “overwhelmingly” target books about race and racism, as well as books with LGBTQ characters, PEN America said in its September study on school book bans.
