Meet Anthony Aycock, a 2024 COURAGE to WRITE Writer of Note working on his nonfiction book, Just Plain Filthy: The Life and Times of Book Banning’s Trial of the Century.
Just Plain Filthy is the first book-length history of Island Trees v. Pico, the only book ban case ever to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Anthony is a writer, teacher, and librarian who has spent 20+ years working in government, academic, and private law libraries, as well as teaching academic and creative writing.
An exciting update from Anthony: “I have completed an additional chapter on my book and am starting another. And the big news: an editor of a university press is preparing to send a proposal for my book to several outside reviewers!”
