Meet an acquiring editor at Columbia University Press An interview with editor Alyssa M. Napier of Columbia University Press by Laura Portwood-Stacer of Manuscript Works

"I want to encourage a sense of solidarity in my relationships with my authors, and in the ways that we recognize all sorts of disruptions are happening for people right now and how we have to accommodate the work that we do to account for that."

so bummed that I can’t make it today, but for anyone who has been considering attending, I cannot recommend PAGES enough!

The first day of the #APSA2024 exhibit hall sure was exciting. It was great to meet with Melissa Deckman (THE POLITICS OF GEN Z), Rongbin Han (CONTESTING CYBERSPACE IN CHINA), Nicholas Tampio (DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION), and Martin Williams (IMPLEMENTING CIVIL SERVICE REFORM-not yet in production).

“In defense of reader 2” but it’s a column all about the near total impossibility of getting a second reader sometimes

Ever wonder what CC BY-NC-ND, CC BY-SA, or the like means? Neal Swain of Harvard University Press contributes a second piece to #FeedingTheElephant's ongoing series about contracts and copyright to explain Creative Commons licenses. networks.h-net.org/group/discus...

So you've just gotten your book contract, but how do you make sense of the copyright clauses? Stephanie Vyce of Harvard University Press recommends looking for two key words: assignment and license. Take a look at her #FeedingTheElephant post to learn more. networks.h-net.org/group/discus...

the magic of finding an audiobook that checks those boxes is 100% worth it though—I somehow look forward to doing dishes and folding laundry now because it’s ~sacred audiobook time~

Congrats Amy!!!

I’ve been trying to figure this out too hahaha

Publishers and Scholars, Unite! Universities have disinvested from their presses just as much as their humanities departments and libraries. Will working together stop it?

Excited—& a bit nervous—to have this essay in the world. It started as an MLA talk—which I described at the time as the political unconscious of the usual How To Publish Your Book fare—& became much more thanks to the wonderful team at Public Books. Solidarity!

I offer some thoughts on peer review for #PeerReviewWeek and how it can be changed to help us diversify what and whom we publish. Thanks @dawnd.bsky.social and Feeding the Elephant!

a copy of the book Thinking Like Your Editor on top of an e-ink tablet that has the phrase "Discussion Questions" written at the top. a cup of coffee and the tablet stylus are to the right of tablet and book.

book club meeting this week! doing my best to write discussion questions that are *relevant to* but not *about* the book per se (and you don't even have to stick to the Q's anyway!), so if you're interested in hanging out but haven't been able to read the book, we'd love to have you

seconding this!!
