The #MeToo movement continues to spread into the world of young adult and children's fiction — fast.
Most recently it's led to The Maze Runner author James Dashner being dropped by his literary agent, according to a report from the Associated Press (https://apnews.com/09b7108e2d634b909d94feb126fa8796/%22Maze-Runner%22-author-James-Dashner-dropped-by-literary-agent).
Dashner was one of multiple authors accused of inappropriate behavior and harassment by various anonymous sources on an online comment thread.*
“I couldn’t in good conscience continue working with James, and I let him go yesterday,” said the agent, Michael W. Bourret.
