Got my copy of THE LUMINOUS FAIRIES & MOTHRA, the translated novella by Dr. Jeffrey Angles & @uminnpress.bsky.social! Writing a blurb (alongside @mattzilla85.bsky.social) & having my little nerd-show immortalized on the back cover of a book featuring my fave character is such a full-circle moment. ❤️

Very cool topic
'SCHOOL YEARBOOK' by Kate Eichhorn shares why school yearbooks—as frivolous and cringey as they are—are far more than just objects of nostalgia.

There's a marked uptick in scholarly proposals for edited volumes that are chock full of extra costs... full color photo inserts, manga essays, request for QR codes, perforated pages, etc. Even with subventions, these bring big challenges to a university press. Curious where this is coming from.
