Now that UnCensored Ink is out in the world, I would like to ask you all to continue this kind support by simply buying it, reading it, talking about it. 50% of our revenue will be donated to the American Library Association, so part of your wallet will also contribute to their fight against book banning. It’s an endless fight but we can’t afford to give up.
