ND Press Sends You Tales for the Spooky Season #NDPBlog undpress.nd.edu/blog...

AI-generated "books" are flooding Amazon and other online retailers. Here is a regular reminder: Take note of who published the books you read or buy. Presses are perhaps more important than ever in helping identify trustworthy resources in a failing information ecosystem.

Love this breakdown! Explains so neatly and simply why buying direct (from the press) is the best way to support authors.

Worth repeating: "University presses are essential infrastructure for the humanities & should be financially supported in the same way that other higher education inter-institutional infrastructure is." Some powerful examples here:

"I asked Chat GPT" Well we asked an expert and then we asked other experts in that field to review the first expert's work.

one thing about Kate's book WRITE THROUGH IT that I thought was really useful framing was the chapter on self-promotion where she talks about what kind of marketing the publisher is good at (trade reviews, bookstores & libraries) vs. what kind the author is good at (readers, your writing community)

awful. I'm seeing a lot of comments responding with generalizations about academic publishing, but I hope authors know all is not lost. At my press we work directly with a pool of trusted freelance copyeditors, and I've seen at least one other university press editor on here say similar

I am so so SO proud of and excited by this book!!!! Alexander Podrabinek and Marian Schwartz are my dream team.

THERE IS SO MUCH HAPPENING HELP

Save the date! 📖👀 Our next PAGES Book Club meeting will take place on Thursday, May 22 at 12pm EST. We will be discussing the book, Black Feminist Writing: A Practical Guide to Publishing Academic Books by Stephanie Y. Evans (SUNY Press, 2024). Find details and the registration link below!

In publishing, each manuscript has one weird detail that will suck up about 50% of the time you will ultimately spend on the book.

Libraries continued to provide critical services and develop innovative programs and services, despite the challenges they faced in 2024. Learn more and see which books face the most censorship challenges in this year's State of America's Libraries Report: www.ala.org/news/state-a...

100%. And authors- if there's critical feedback, it's much better to get that while the manuscript is still in development and the feedback can be addressed. Bumpy doesn't necessarily mean bad; rather, it often shows engaged reviewers who see enough potential in the work to raise important points.

My new favorite thing is my Sumo Citrus break in the afternoon where I stare out the window and watch the squirrels chase each other up and down the trees... very wholesome, very grounding.
