Happy National Paperback Day! We were torn between the cover designs of some hardcover and paperback editions, so we thought we’d let you weigh in on your favorites. Here’s a roundup of PLM speaker books with excellent paperback alter egos. Which covers win your vote? And just for fun, do you usually reach for paperbacks or hardcovers? 📚💫

And finally, meet the last member of our small team, our part-time lecture agent Karuna Khatri! You can find her whipping up contracts or putting together our Curiosity Seed Book Club newsletter. Outside of PLM, she works at her local library, where she gets to be on the front lines of community programming. You could say, her job is books! 📚💖

She loves getting to experience both sides of event planning—the behind-the-scenes and the happy chaos of hosting. Nothing makes her happier than connecting around books and the wonderful people who put them out in the word.

She’s also the person behind our social media, so if you’re reading this—hi from Karuna!

Meet our former resident librarian Katharyn Haas, now holding down the fort as our full-time lecture agent!

Katharyn is the heart and soul behind PLM—whether she's matchmaking event hosts to the perfect speaker or revamping our behind-the-scenes processes. She's always ready with a book recommendation and a kind word. What would we do without you Katharyn! 💫 📖

After six years as a public librarian and programming coordinator, she discovered her passion for connecting authors and audiences in meaningful ways. Katharyn grew up in rural northern Michigan before pursuing her BA in English and Writing from Hope College and her MLIS from Wayne State University. She enjoys pairing speakers with like-minded venues who seek to challenge existing ideas and inspire new ones for the betterment of the world we all share.

Meet the team behind the scenes! We just joined the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB), and we wanted to take the opportunity to introduce everyone! First up, say hello to our president and founder Ayesha Pande!

📚 Ayesha grew up on three different continents, which may be why she’s especially drawn to voices that cross borders—cultural, emotional, and political.

She founded Ayesha Pande Literary, our sister literary agency in 2007 after a career in publishing, most recently as a senior editor at Farrar, Straus and Giroux. PLM grew out of a desire to better support our authors at APL and beyond! 🎤 🌟

She just reread "Giovanni's Room" by James Baldwin and was struck by his innovative genius - he broke open the form of the novel, writing with such lyrical intensity and emotional honesty that it still feels radical today.

Happy disability pride month! 🌈 💫

We're thrilled to highlight Jezz Chung, one of our speakers who is making waves with their unique approach on disability justice.

As a neuroqueer Korean American, Jezz brings a deeply personal and intersectional perspective to their work in community building and art-making. We chatted with them a bit on how to foster true inclusivity and about the power of disability & neurodivergence in reimagining a better future for all of us. Swipe for a few tips! ➡️

Photo Credit: Jezz recently spoke on building Resilient Futures at DEMO2025, a festival that showcases the next generation of creative projects.

One month since Brando Starkey’s book THEIR ACCOMPLICES WORE ROBES hit shelves! The book is a a sweeping, urgent history of how the Supreme Court helped preserve a racial caste system in America.

“This book is a book written to inspire reflection, disagreement, and argument – the kinds of things that are sorely needed in our own complex times.” —Kenneth W. Mack

We’re proud to represent Brando Starkey on both the literary and speaking side. THEIR ACCOMPLICES WORE ROBES is also our July book club pick, so keep an eye out for the curiosity seed newsletter! Not signed up? Head to pandelectures.com/resources to join. 💛

Reading is resistance!📚🌈 Q***r books have always brought us joy (and tears!), but at a time where LGBTQ+ stories are being targeted and banned, picking up these books, talking about them, and celebrating them also feels vital. While PRIDE is over, lean into joy with these reads.

It’s summer reading season and what better time to start the healthy habit of reading just a little every day? Read 25 in 2025 is a nationwide celebration that encourages readers to set aside 25 minutes a day to read, with cozy gatherings at indie bookstores where folks read in silence, then come together to talk books. Reading may be a solo adventure, but it’s also a wonderful way to build community.

Want to take it a step further? Invite your favorite author to help wrap up your Read 25 series! You could host a series of silent reading sessions where everyone chooses a book by the same author, and then bring that author in at the end of the summer for a talk your community won’t forget.

Need ideas? We're happy to brainstorm with you!

We are SO excited to formally welcome writer, performer, multidisciplinary artist, and globally recognized public thinker, to the roster! Their work explores personal and collective change through the lens of race, gender, trauma, disability, and neurodivergence. Jezz also has a fabulous book called THIS WAY TO CHANGE: A Gentle Guide to Personal Transformation and Collective Liberation, which encourages cultural change through personal transformation with poems, prose, and interactive practices.

You can find Jezz on Substack , listen to their podcast Dreaming Different, or catch them IRL by booking an event with us!

To partner with Jezz, get it touch at: [email protected]!
