My best advice to aspiring authors of scholarly books is to read other scholarly books recently published by your target press. This may seem obvious and yet is not!

I will never get over being asked to treat evolutionary psychology as a serious intellectual endeavor
Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

A sincere question for scholarly book editors and reader. It seems someone (?) is advising history and sociology authors to include “tables” summarizing their arguments. In books. In books published by presses hypothetically reaching crossover audiences. Is this in fact a thing you want?

The Trump admin already failed to get an arrest warrant on him—magistrate judge refused so DOJ went to appeals court, prompting that letter from the chief district judge torching the DOJ, and appeals court denied too—so God knows what this new one is, or if they even bothered to get a warrant.

The new Harriet Powers USPS postage stamps are so moving. Featuring details from formerly enslaved Powers’s “Pictorial Quilt” of 1898, I’m so glad these stamps will bring her work & life story to more people, especially when so much Black history is being erased from the public realm right now 💌
