Ask Joyce Vance Anything!
TBR Book Club
Joyce Vance’s newsletter, Civil Discourse, is a favorite of many TBR readers. And so I’m delighted that her new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual For Keeping A Democracy, is the first TBR Book Club pick of 2026!
I’ll be interviewing Joyce later this week, and will pose any question you have for her. So please leave your questions for Joyce below:

Joyce’s book is available at TBR Bookshop, where every purchase supports local independent bookstores.






Joyce and her book are both great! I’m looking forward to sharing your questions with her.
