THEY CALLED ME WYATT, the first novel from @NatashaTynes, will be the first book to be published by REBELLER. https://bit.ly/rebellerwyatt 
Scheduled to be published early last year, early reviews of THEY CALLED ME WYATT on GoodReads were positive, with readers hailing the “unique perspective” of Jordanian-American author @NatashaTynes as “engrossing” and “compelling.”
Before WYATT hit streets, Tynes tweeted a photo of a Metro employee eating on a train. This was snitching. It wasn’t, as critics claimed, racist.

And yet an outrage mob targeted her, and her book, for cancelation.
Tynes’s novel was subjected to a sustained review-bombing campaign that led to almost 2,000 one-star ratings and nearly a thousand negative reviews, many of which were written by people who hadn’t read the book.
The fallout was immediate. Tynes’s distributor, @rarebirdlit, went out of its way to “cancel Tynes’s novel.” https://twitter.com/rarebirdlit/status/1127010177700519937
Her publisher, California Coldblood, did the same. https://twitter.com/CalifColdblood/status/1127259321572610049
As a lover of art, a producer of movies, and a publisher of books, @CINESTATE / @REBELLER CEO @DallasSonnier was disturbed by the chilling effect of this deluge of undeserved hate.
So, Dallas acquired the rights to THEY CALLED ME WYATT for @REBELLER and we will be republishing it.
