Today marks 400 years since John Fletcher’s death: the Jacobean playwright died of the plague and was buried at St. Saviour’s (now Southwark Cathedral) on 29 August 1625. I’m guest-editing a special Ben Jonson Journal issue celebrating this anniversary: coming soon!

So, due to contracts ending I seem to be entering something of a career break. If anyone needs any research assistance, guest speaking, or teaching, do let me know. I'm 4 years post-PhD with experience I archival research and public engagement, and hold FHEA status. And please share if you can 🙂

This coming Monday, at 6pm BST, @oldfortunatus.bsky.social and I take to the webinarwaves to discuss Titus Andronicus. Do join us as we try to make sense of this magnificent play! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/english-fa...

Any advice? I sent a book proposal to a publisher. After one month I've received no reply whatsoever despite sending a couple of polite reminders. Is not even receiving a simple "Received, thanks" common? How long should I wait before contacting another publisher? Thanks
