If you or someone you know is hoping to start working on turning their dissertation into a scholarly book, now is a great time to start planning for that. In addition to one-on-one consulting, I also offer a half day workshop for faculty success centers, colleges, and departments. rudyleon.com/dissertation-revi

AAUP did some interesting things back int he 90s, all of which depserately need updates. For example, I was just referred to the 1995 _Guidelines for Bias-Free Writing_ they wrote by task force.

And I desperately love my copy of 1 Book 5 Ways (1978, with a 1994 foreword) and would love to see a modern revision, reflecting current production and editorial processes. ( I mean computers, for a start...)

Princeton UP and MIT Press are also here. So far it's been easy enough to find presses if I just search for the name.

And don’t make the mistake I did of tooting a locked post with the lock icon 🔒. It won’t show up to the Fediverse or to the University Press Books group. Only to your followers.

Make sure it’s public, and has the globe icon showing 🌐.

What are you reading today?

I’ve been a poetry reader for PRISM since 2020, but my involvement is early in the editorial process. So seeing the final selections in the issues is always exciting. I recognize some work in Fall 2022—that always makes me smile!

Also looking forward to diving into Therí Alyce Pickens’s “Black Madness :: Mad Blackness.” It’s been on my wish list for a while!

What is the scholarship equivalent of a novella? I’d like to write and read short books that are both more developed and detailed than an article but shorter than a regular monograph. Are there examples of this kind of thing being regularly published by someone?

Yesterday's marvelous NYT reflection on the bibliodiversity fostered by did contain one common misapprehension.

Most books that a UP takes a risk on ("publishing with love" as bookseller Devon Dunn put it) aren't subsidized by a university. In reality, institutional budget allocations to UPs comes to ~14% of UPs' book sales. 20% of presses reporting operating stats to received zero financial allocation from their institution in 2021. 1/2
