I know, there are only so many things I can do with this timeline, but I am adding in world events simply because I did this for a class I teach and it could be useful. I could also add in the lines, but tbh, it’s time consuming and I’m lazy. A caveat on this […]
As a means of giving this some context, I have been wanting to share this chapter for a while, but copying and pasting is a lot of work. I hesitated to share it at all because I thought maybe, this chapter that was removed from my thesis, would be worthy of being published in a […]
It’s a good day when you get the email that your article has been published in a journal you have used for years in your research. The publishing industry doesn’t have the largest array of journals for related research, but it does have some good ones. Logos Publishing Research Quarterly Book History Journal of […]
Every time I say that it’s been ages since I’ve updated this site, it becomes even longer before I get around to doing it again. But I have some updating to do. I have completed my second PhD. This one is in publishing studies. It’s called Books Are Social: the role of social technology in […]
It’s been unforgivably long since I’ve posted anything here. I know that all 5 of you who occasionally stumble upon this site have been waiting anxiously for updates… But let me catch you up.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but a lot has been in the pipeline and chugging along since then. One thing that’s really great is the publication of my article, The Rise of the Citizen Author: Writing Within Social Media, in Publishing Research Quarterly, happened. I feel like publishing is a tiny area […]
As I said in my previous blog about getting shit done when life drops a big ‘hold your horses’ on you, I have been trying my best to get as much done on my research as possible while still doing the whole job hunt thing. Last week I managed to finish my chapter on the […]
About a month ago I broke the shit out of my leg playing roller derby. It was no one’s fault. It’s a dangerous sport with a high level of physical stress, and it was just a bit of bad luck where I was knocked over and my foot didn’t move. Damn foot. After 2.5 […]
