@shafrhistorians.bsky.social do yourselves favors and speak to these incredible series editors about INTERCONNECTIONS. Leaving it and them behind remains one of the hardest things about leaving UNCP and is one of my proudest legacies to the press and especially the field.

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.

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!

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.

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.

@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.

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.
