PSA ⬇️ If a review questionnaire from a press doesn’t have language in it that essentially says “you’re not allowed to use AI to review this manuscript,” tell the press that they need to update their document.

I’m not on here much anymore, but have to chime in with my warmest congrats to @gauthamrao.bsky.social on the publication of White Power. This was one of my last acquisitions at @uncpress.bsky.social but among those of which I’m most proud (despite the fact that he’s a Liverpool super fan). 👏🥂⚽️

Thx @publisherswkly.bsky.social for showing how it takes a village to publish an idea. 2 people remain unseen: @brndnpr.bsky.social, who had the initial conversations with John, & me, the editor who acquired & edited it. We’re no longer at @uncpress.bsky.social but our contributions remain.

@bloomsburyacad.bsky.social is open for business at the National Interpretation Association annual meeting in a Virginia Beach! We have swag and FREE books, so come by the exhibit before everything is gone! @naiinterpreters.bsky.social

Together again, this time at @bloomsburyaced.bsky.social. @wirechairs.bsky.social

A wild @newsobserver.com story about one of my @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social forthcoming books, THE ACCIDENTAL PICASSO THIEF. I love the Chapel Hill angle -- keeps me tied to my beloved @uncpress.bsky.social! www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

I knew the insides of @amyefarrell.bsky.social’s book were fantastic, but WOW the outside is a work of art. Since Lionel won’t let me near it I guess I’ll have to order another copy from @uncpress.bsky.social - and you should too!

Just 2 kids from the IU Bloomington graduate program in history playing grown-up at the @aaslh.org conference. John Dichtl at the AASLH helm and me hawking @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social books, which are available at a deep(er) discount until 4 pm today at the booth!

Hello, Cincinnati and #AASLH / @aaslh.org from @bloomsburyaced.bsky.social! We’re open for business tomorrow at 9 and look forward to meeting our authors and discovering new ones.

In a “when worlds collide” moment, got to finally meet @uncpress.bsky.social author and @aaslh.org’s @johngmarks.com!

Hello, Cincinnati! For all those who have missed the #debbie’sstunninghotelviews series, I’m very pleased to reveal that while I have a new job that could not be more different from the last several, the conference hotel views are the same. #aaslh2025 @aaslh.org @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social

Hi to all coming to Cincinnati this week for the @aaslh.org meeting! I'll be representing @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social w/ 2 wonderful colleagues, so please come by the booth to introduce yourself (esp. Charles Harmon's authors, now mine), pitch a book idea, & browse our stellar collection of books.

Let’s see how well my commuting muscle memory performs on day 1 of new job. First job in over 2 decades where I can’t hit the ground running and I’m terrified!

More details about job news: this was such a hard decision bc it was about staying where I am or going into the unknown. For 25+ yrs I’ve worked to be one of the best history editors in the @aupresses.bsky.social world. I finally got there and @uncpress.bsky.social had a ton to do with that. 1/5

Welp, as they say: I knew this news was going out over the @aupresses.bsky.social wires today but I thought I had more time to tell the hundreds (literally, 100s) of beloved authors and all who love history that I accepted a job as an editorial director at @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social very recently.

Warmest and well-deserved congratulations to @monijimenez.bsky.social's MAKING NEVER-NEVER LAND on winning the 2025 Gordon K. and Sybil Lewis book award from the Caribbean Studies Association! Congrats as well to the @latinxhistories.bsky.social series at @uncpress.bsky.social!

It’s a packed house for the roundtable discussion with series editors of “SHAFR Books”!!! #SHAFR2025

@shafrhistorians.bsky.social always feels like homecoming but working with these superstars on the #interconnections series made it go to 11. Check us out on the @uncpress.bsky.social webpage. @juliairwin.bsky.social @drjsarkar.bsky.social @cmcknichols.bsky.social @renatakeller.bsky.social

Remember: I don’t intend to send any books back to @uncpress.bsky.social after @shafrhistorians.bsky.social, so please visit the book and help me out! Exhibit closes at 2.

Anyone who says editors at different presses can’t be friends is full of it. @ceceliacancellaro.bsky.social @uncpress.bsky.social @universitypress.cambridge.org

@uncpress.bsky.social has had such a busy @shafrhistorians.bsky.social mtg that this is the 1st time I’ve had a chance to post about our beautiful booth. Check it out tomorrow (6/28) and take a free book with you. Exhibit closes at 2!

Right now in Studio B at @shafrhistorians.bsky.social - everything you need to know about book series on global history and America and the world. @cornellupress.bsky.social @universitypress.cambridge.org @columbiaup.bsky.social @pennpress.bsky.social @uncpress.bsky.social

I second this post. Looking forward to seeing many old and new friends at the @uncpress.bsky.social booth at @shafrhistorians.bsky.social next week!

Editors and anyone else who ever had to deal with sticky author situations, come to our session at @aupresses.bsky.social later today to share, support, and find solutions for issues that affect so many of us. @uncpress.bsky.social @ucpress.bsky.social @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social

I love it when series editors publish their own work in their series! Learn more about @uncpress.bsky.social's InterConnections series at the @shafrhistorians.bsky.social conference from eds @renatakeller.bsky.social, @cmcknichols.bsky.social, @juliairwin.bsky.social, @drjsarkar.bsky.social, & me.

Power trio Craig Friend, @sethrockman.bsky.social, and Lunsford Lane take Worcester! @amantiquarian.bsky.social @uncpress.bsky.social

I don’t think he’s here, but let’s all celebrate today’s publication of Becoming Lunsford Lane by Craig Friend! Get your copy today from @uncpress.bsky.social or your favorite bookstore. 🎉📚

Best mall from @uncpress.bsky.social! Craig Friend’s bio of Lunsford Lane & Akinyele Umoja, Gloria House, & the late John Bracey Jr’s memoirs of Robert and Mabel Williams. Don’t believe me? Ask our generous blurbers including @agr.bsky.social, @profmsinha.bsky.social, & @dwaldstreicher.bsky.social.

@gauthamrao.bsky.social, @roperlou.bsky.social, and all the other fans I've forgotten about, this even brought a tear to my Chelsea blue eyes. Class act. Congrats! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJBg...

@carlacevasco.bsky.social's forthcoming @uncpress.bsky.social book, YOUNG AND HUNGRY: FEEDING CHILDREN IN AMERICA, in our new W. Hodding Carter III imprint, could not be more timely. Look for it in Fall 2026, just in time to send a message for midterm election voters.

The fabulous @loriflores.bsky.social will be chatting about Awaiting TheiR Feast with Carlos Alonso Nugent tonight at Brooklyn’s Unnameable Books. The event is alfresco and it’s supposed to be a beautiful evening. Come for the wisdom, stay for the snacks and drinks!

@simpsonvos.bsky.social 👏

Come work for me at @uncpress.bsky.social! I'll teach you the ins & outs of publishing with a side of quirky humor, & you'll work with some of the best historians in the world. I'm 100% remote, so you'll need to be based in or near the Research Triangle. Details here⬇️ uncpress.org/now-hiring-a...

Waiting for Elijah. ✡️

I love that @herreramilhist.bsky.social received the @smh-historians.bsky.social Edwin Simmons Memorial Service Awar. I detest the circumstances that prevented him from being at the meeting. As publishers, advocates, readers, and employers of historians, we all need to do more to protect them.

If this isn’t a standing room only session, something is amiss at #OAH2025. The incomparable @sonyabonczek.bsky.social, the brilliant @ceceliacancellaro.bsky.social, & other publishing luminaries will be sharing their vast wisdom at 10:30 today! @uncpress.bsky.social @oah.org

#OAH2025 Day 2. @uncpress.bsky.social @latinxhistories.bsky.social @oah.org

Looking forward to seeing @oah.org attendees at the @uncpress.bsky.social booth tomorrow at 3 to celebrate the @latinxhistories.bsky.social series and its authors!

This book has been a few years in the making and we are so excited to share the cover! Kristina R. Gaddy and I have brought together 19 pieces of Black music created between 1687 and 1867, spanning from the Caribbean to North America, with my banjo tab, plus the story behind each piece.

Hope to see lots of @latinxhistories.bsky.social authors, board members, and friends at our reception on Friday at @oah.org!
