Emily Russell & Lucy Kidwell are kicking off @historylabplus.bsky.social’s ‘Academic Book Publishing 101 w/Palgrave Macmillan’ event now!

So I think the time has come for me to be a little bit more transparent about something. I've not been hugely forthcoming about it for various reasons (some of which I'll explain below) but it is probably time to be a bit more upfront: I left / crashed out of academia in June last year 1/ 🗃️

The application deadline for these @historylabplus.bsky.social roles is BUT ONE WEEK AWAY!

*Another* great @historylabplus.bsky.social event, you say? Yes. Join us online for 'Academic Book Publishing 101 with Palgrave Macmillan' on 28 January at 10am, followed by 121 chats w/commissioning editors for History, Emily Russell & Lucy Kidwell. For details👉 tinyurl.com/yvdyyfxv

My very last issue (on ♿️) has now come out with BMJ Medical Humanities: I have stepped down from my role as Editor in Chief. There are a lot of factors—after 17 years editing two consecutive journals, it was time. But there’s more, and I feel we should talk about the climate of #academic publishing
