So glad I made it to @aupresses.bsky.social in Seattle this year where I got to chat with so many wonderful university press folks (and as a bonus I found my @princetonupress.bsky.social book at Elliott Bay Book Company during the happy hour)!
My conference recap is coming in my newsletter soon 📨
I was glad to provide some insight for this article about the struggles authors sometimes face with scholarly publishing (which are so often structural and not due to the intentional negligence of individual editors)
Thanks so much to @lportwoodstacer.bsky.social of Manuscript Works for featuring my book out w/ @ucpress.bsky.social in today's newsletter!
I'm a newsletter fan & it's a thrill to be in it!
Grateful for the advice that helped me navigate production, & excited to keep consulting Manuscript Works!
I just survived one of my scariest speaking gigs yet: elementary school career day.
I think the two points that made the biggest impression on the kids were:
1. Books take a really long time to make
2. The author doesn’t get to keep most of the money
Best book idea they had: a history of candy
Is there some way we can get Spencer Pratt to go stand next to it
