For @nytcooking I wrote about Moody Harney, Brooklyn's Real Mother Shucker, who teaches and embodies NYC's Black oyster history.I learned so much writing this story and Moody gave me maybe my favorite kicker of all time 😂

Ava Reid Updates @asimonereid
1 in 6 children are sexually abused & so many children's authors act as if this is below their attention. choosing to ignore it is beyond cowardly - brushing off what makes you uncomfortable rather than engaging compassionately w/ one of the most virulent & prevalent social ills twitter.com/sophietcohen/s…Agents, I’m open to and would love to see MG and YA about surviving sexual assault, especially ones that offer hope to teen and kid survivors (not necessarily neat answers/linear healing/happy endings, but hope!) #MSWL
