Huge thanks to Miranda Melcher for the thoughtful questions and good chat - I really enjoyed our convo! Available at the link below or wherever you get your podcasts... @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social @dgershenowitz.bsky.social @sonyabonczek.bsky.social newbooksnetwork.com/the-women-of...

I’ve been a Twitter holdout, but since I was unable to document my workweek due to vacation, I’ve had to finally deactivate! In addition to this nice place I can be found on the @uncpress.bsky.social webpage. Here’s a sliver of documentation of my week:

Seeking recommendations of university presses that publish children's books who'd be interested in donating to the Bronx public library. @aupresses.bsky.social

Delighted and honored on behalf of @milhistlee.bsky.social and @uncpress.bsky.social. This makes 2 years in a row for our authors winning the @smh-historians.bsky.social outstanding book award!

Just launched my @uncpress.bsky.social Fall 2025 season, and all I can say is "Damn, my authors and their books are incredible." I can't wait to start revealing covers here, but for now I'll just share the theme I've given to the season: "Epic Histories of Empire." Stay tuned!

⬇️ @uncpress.bsky.social

Not only did @johngmarks.bsky.social do all of this but he also taught me how to say "semiquincentennial." Delighted that @uncpress.bsky.social will be ready to offer such an exciting contribution for the 250th!

HAPPY PUB DAY to @loriflores.bsky.social: stellar teacher, historian, storyteller, Latinx Histories co-editor, foodie, & friend. On this #TacoTuesday, buy a copy from @uncpress.bsky.social to see the labor & lives that produce the Latinx food we love. Pls repost widely! uncpress.org/book/9781469...

For once I took tons of pictures at @historians.org but @uncpress.bsky.social has kept me so busy since returning that none are posted. Meeting @profjennyshaw.bsky.social was a high point in a conference full of them! I didn't just meet an author; I gained a friend. Buy this beautiful book!

Happy pub day to the amazing @greeneland.bksy.social! There’s no better time (or price) to get your copy of this eminently readable book. Reach out to @sonyabonczek.bsky.social, me, or anyone else at @uncpress.bsky.social if you’d like to review it, interview Julie, host her for a talk, etc.

Our books are out! You can get them at a discount at @uncpress.bsky.social booth at the #AHA25 🗃️

Exited to see @loriflores.bsky.social at #aha25 with her brand-new book, Awaiting Their Feast. Congratulations! uncpress.org/book/9781469...

Hey, #aha25 people! @uncpress.bsky.social books are going fast, come and get yours soon! (Or else order them at the conference discount!

Curious about academic publishing? Don’t miss me and my brilliant colleagues’ panel at #aha2025 tomorrow, Jan 3, at 1:30. Want to make an afternoon of it? Don’t miss me and more brilliant colleagues chat about the ins and outs of peer review at 3:30! @uncpress.bsky.social @historians.org

By the end of this week, I’ll be out of Caribbean paradise (Bonaire) and in Historian paradise. Reach out if you’d like to try to connect at @historians.org meeting or swing by the @uncpress.bsky.social booth. And happy new year to all.

Early delivery of my 2 January babies: @loriflores.bsky.social AWAITING THEIR FEAST & @greeneland.bsky.social BOX 25. What a win for labor, Latinx, Caribbean, food, & migration history. And for @UNC_Press & all you lucky folk who will read & teach them. @womenknowhistory.bsky.social

Boosting this on behalf of my fabulous @uncpress.bsky.social colleague @catehodorowicz.bsky.social.

Yes, that's right! Drop me a note if you'd like to chat at the @historians.org meeting next month, and also keep an eye out for co-editor Jayita Sarkar, who'll be there on the 3rd and 4th.

Thanks, @unlawfulentries.bsky.social and @roperlou.bsky.social for the shout outs. All credit goes to @uncpress.bsky.social marketing team, digital and otherwise!

I had the privilege of holding this beautiful book in my hands today at the @uncpress.bsky.social office, and it is truly beautiful from the design to the writing to the narrative and more. Brava, @profjennyshaw.bsky.social!

As per usual @roxanegay.bsky.social is spot on. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Our first #InterConnections book is out in the UNC Press Spring/Summer Catalog!! So excited for everyone to read these fascinating new oral history-based pieces on ordinary people's experiences in Cold War Asia uncpress.org/book/9781469... 🗃️ @juliairwin.bsky.social @drjsarkar.bsky.social
