The Pixel Project presents our 12th annual Fall Edition of Read For Pixels featuring live YouTube sessions highlighting award-winning bestselling authors in support of ending violence against women (VAW).
This September’s Read for Pixels features Angela Sylvaine, Clay McLeod Chapman, Eliza Chan, Keith Rosson, Rachel Howzell Hall, Sara Read, Susan Elia MacNeal, and Tamika Thompson. Each livestream YouTube session will feature one author reading from one of their books and discussing women and girls in their books and pop culture and why they support ending VAW. Each session also includes a live Q&A segment for fans and book lovers. The sessions will take place on weekends throughout September 2026.
We will also be presenting three (3) Read For Pixels YouTube live panel sessions featuring Kendare Blake, Padma Venkatraman, and Romina Garber discussing Mean Girls subverting sexism and misogyny in Young Adult Fiction; Milton J. Davis, Sylvain Neuvel, and Zig Zag Claybourne discussing “Green Flag” heroes and healthy masculinities in Speculative Fiction; and Grace R. Reynolds, Lauren Elise Daniels, and Mercedes M. Yardley discussing the tools and methods poets can use to create poetry against violence against women.
All authors have also generously donated a range of goodies to help raise funds for The Pixel Project including signed books and book bundles, author-curated goodie bundles, collectible special editions, 1-to-1 video calls with individuals or groups, critique bundles, and more. Additional goodies are courtesy of acclaimed publishers Dzanc Books and Subterranean Press as well as award-winning bestselling authors Juliette Wade, Linda D. Addison, Kelsea Yu, Kit Rosewater, Marisca Pichette, Pintip Dunn, Sara Tantlinger, and Taylor Jenkins Reid.
