/lit/ - Literature

Going to a talk to discuss book bannings because I wanted to understand more about how those happen. Part of it is a bit unclear, because a ban could either mean moving it to a restricted part of library, removing it from a curriculum or at worst removing from the location entirely. I don't know how many books these days are challenged by obscenity laws, that is far more difficult to do and probably not part of the discussion.

At the very least I realized you can use Google Alerts to get notified when people discuss your title or your pen name on social media, as well as when your title appears in databases that challenge your work in public spaces. Didn't even realize you could do that. Now to get enough readers to warrant that to even happen in the first place.
