More than 200 staffers at Simon & Schuster have signed a petition calling for the publishing house to cancel its seven-figure book deal with former Vice President Mike Pence and commit to not signing any more book deals with members of Donald Trump’s administration. The petition was delivered to the publisher on April 26, signed by 216 employees—about 14% of the publisher’s staff—and backed by more than 3,500 supporters outside the company, including authors such as the National Book Award–winning writer Jesmyn Ward.
