I mean, I know I'm biased as I am all in on @feegiconference.bsky.social, but it truly is a wonderful space to present work, meet new colleagues, and learn about wide-ranging scholarship on the early modern world. Next meeting is in Pittsburgh in April 2027! #earlymodern feegi.org/index.html

I am really not good at doing nothing. But this book is wonderful on why we all need to do more nothing and how much our brains benefit from it. And imagine my surprise and delight to learn that Jebelli worked with Zoë Pagnamenta at Calligraph Literary Agency!

I am so proud of and honored by this award. Working with the wonderful editors at EH, Mark Hersey and Stephen Brain, was transformative for me as an author and as an editor. My deep thanks, too, to the extraordinary readers who saw what I was trying to do and helped me to do it better. #earlymodern
