Should figures and tables get their own sequences in numbering, or should they be numbered in a single sequence?

Should captions be as wide as the width of the main body of the text on the page, or should they be no wider than the image they are captioning?

Important thoughts!

One of the things I love about working in publishing is getting to spend my weekends thinking deep thoughts about deep questions, such as...

Should figures be placed closest to where they are first referenced, or should they always appear _after_ they are first referenced?

Almost all our royalty statements for the first quarter of 2025 have been sent out! This is one of the most fun parts of the job: Sending authors money. It's never very much money, though, but it's still money!

1923, Egypt: Hidden in an ancient tomb in the Valley of the Kings lies an insignificant scroll—telling of a far greater treasure, deep within the desert.

Enter the Aero Rangers, assigned to protect the treasure. Little do they know an ancient curse awaits the awakening of the lost Oracle of Amun!

We love it when our authors have a favorite artist they like to work with for their covers! Take a look at this amazing image that Eldon Cowgur has made for @aeroranger20.bsky.social's second volume in the Aero Ranger series, 1923: ARMY OF THE DEAD.

When Prudence Waite arrives at her aunt's house in the depths of Norfolk, nothing is as it seems. As arcane knowledge is revealed, and then hidden again, how can she know what, and whom, she can trust? Will she find the answers she needs before the house and the secrets it holds swallow her whole?

Do you enjoy Gothic horror with a feminist twist? Then have we got a treat for you! We are delighted to announce that we have signed a contract with J. M. Thorne to publish her debut novel, All Along the Black Water.

I think all the work I put into Cogwheel Souls (out in Swedish now, later this year in English by @ellipsisimprints.bsky.social ) really helped me tame the terror. A lot is based on psychotic experiences.
I used to be terrified of the demon Skinmask who appears as an antagonist in the script. (1/2)

Thirteenth-century fresco from the chapel at Hocheppan castle in South Tyrol, modern Italy. The colourful, but weathered picture shows a woman in a long green dress with fashionably wide sleeves crouching beside a cooking hearth. Her left hand stabilises the handle of a large, deep cooking vessel placed over the fire while she hold a kettlehook in her right. She has just used it to take food from the pot and moved it to her mouth. The light-coloured, round object she is eating is traditionally interpreted as a dumpling. More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hocheppan_Castle.

Today, I'm sticking my neck out and interpreting a rather cursory fifteenth-century recipe as our earliest for semmelknödel. Read my reasoning with links to parallel recipes in the blog post.
