Here's a blog post by @serhii & @Maryna_Nazarovets that I commissioned, lightly edited, and made a figure for, on how university journals can avoid having too narrow networks.

If a literary movement arises but no one notices, is it still a movement?

Over the last ten decades, #poets working in #fantasy, #sciencefiction, and #horror have collectively brought forth a revival in alliterative #poetics akin to what once happened in the mid-14th century.

This anthology collects for the first time over 50 speculative poets from across North America and Europe.

Alongside such established names as C. S. Lewis, Patrick Rothfuss, Edwin Morgan, Poul Anderson, Jo Walton, P.K. Page, and W.H. Auden, this anthology includes representative texts from cultural movements such as contemporary neo-Paganism and the Society for Creative Anachronism. A lengthy critical introduction by the editor—written accessibly for a general audience—explains and contextualizes the Modern Revival for critics and readers alike.

“What interests me in poetry is the interplay of language, the page, and silence. Heaven falls out of words because possibility is in the page, another kind of heaven; I wonder if that’s the only heaven we are given to know in life.” -- Edward Dickinson (Ted) Blodgett

E.D. Blodgett’s final volume of #poems *Walking Into God*, is the culmination of the poet’s lifelong devotion to a #poetry and poetics of the sacred. His mastery of craft, including cadence and sustained musicality, is unsurpassed in #Canadian literature. Though this volume is divided into two parts (or sequences), these compressed poems present as a single long poem that explores the processes of walking, moving, changing, and evolving within a unified field.

This is the first volume in the Keyishian Poetry Series.

Time for an #introduction! Fairleigh Dickinson University Press left social media dormant for a spell, and now it's time to think about how best to be public and promote our #authors This feels like the right time and place.

With editorial offices in #Vancouver, British Columbia, FDUP publishes #scholarly #books for the academic market. Since our establishment in 1967 in Madison, New Jersey, we have published well over 1,500 titles in the humanities, arts, and social sciences.

It seems hopeful that #Mastodon and the Knowledge Commons instance are the right place to engage meaningfully with scholarly authors and readers.

We'll post about our recent titles and will share other posts about #universitypress #universitypresses #academic #scholarlypublishing #academicpublishing and related topics.

This firm works for a lot of the major university and commercial presses. I’d hazard a guess that copy editors “only managing exceptions and problems that are not yet handled by the copy editing engine” will not lead to better outcomes for authors 🤷‍♂️

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. https://rudyleon.com/dissertation-revision

AAUP did some interesting things back in the 90s, all of which desperately 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...)

What should we be buying from #UniversityPresses this #CyberMonday? Send us your newly-published or newly-on-sale UP books! @academicchatter

@ilanaslightly. Yes! So many #Universitypresses are having sales (#Michigan, #Hopkins, for example), as well as independent bookstores (#Strand, #Powells).

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. #publishing #universitypresses

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? #AcademicToots #AUPresses #ScholarlyPublishing #UniversityPresses #HigherEd #histodons

@litstudies friends. It's #UniversityPressWeek. @Lithub recommends these: https://lithub.com/this-years-university-press-week-highlights-work-on-race-religion-war-and-more/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Lit%20Hub%20Daily:%20November%2014%2C%202022&utm_term=lithub_master_list.

My recent #memoir, actually dual memoir, w/#BruceMiller of #UCSF was published by #JohnsHopkinsUP. They were great to work with, as have the other #Universitypresses with whom I've had the good fortune to work. Here's a link to my #medhum memoir about my father's #Alzheimers. I describe his disease from the perspective of a daughter/English prof; Bruce from the perspective of son/neurologist.
