Happy #TermTuesday! 📖👀

Trade books can be found on many university press's lists, as UPs can publish for trade and academic markets. Many UPs have a regional trade list w/ books specific to their geographic location.

Happy #BannedBooksWeek, everyone! Reading is resistance!

Read a book! Check out your local library! Visit an indie bookstore!
Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

It's #TermTuesday and we're back to talk about edited volumes!

These books are comprehensive volumes that explore a singular topic from the different perspectives of the volume's contributors.
September 30, 2025 at 6:48 PM
Happy #TermTuesday!

Monographs generally comprise a bulk of many university press's lists as they are books based on extensive research, written for an academic audience, and provide a detailed exploration of a subject.

NB: University presses publish a wide array of other books, too!!

Many thanks to all who joined us yesterday for our PAGES Book Club where we discussed WRITE THROUGH IT by @katemckean.bsky.social! And a special thanks to Kate, who joined us in our discussion. We had a blast, and we hope you all did do.

Stay tuned for the next PAGES announcement - see you soon!

Interested in joining this month's PAGES meeting on September 18? Try listening to the audiobook! Author Kate McKean narrates the audio (so rad!), and you should check it out.

Exciting reminder: Kate McKean will also be joining us in our discussion at the upcoming meeting as we discuss her book!

WOW! Happy September!

It's #TermTuesday! Exclusive review can give editors a fair opportunity to consider a project, especially in competitive situations. Exclusive review does not mean either party, press or author, is committed to publishing the book.

ICYMI, our next PAGES meeting just dropped! 🥳🥳🥳 We would LOVE to see you there.

Some books might feature a gallery of images rather than having the images spread out through the text. Including a gallery is usually a strategic decision depending on the project, as galleries can affect production costs & affect the reader's navigation of the text.

We are back from the weekend with another #TermTuesday!

Last week we covered what a book series is, so we're following that up by talking about series editors and what they do.
August 5, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Happy #TermTuesday, folks!

Book series are common among presses and play varying roles in their list of publications (depending on the press & the active series they have). Series are a great way to establish niches, revitalize topics, and make space for underrepresented voices.

Happy #TermTuesday, folks!

Extended text is used to describe complex figures in addition to alt-text (when needed).
July 22, 2025 at 8:12 PM
#TermTuesday repost!

We forgot to include alt text in this yesterday and were helpfully reminded by some folks online. Many thanks for your patience and understanding!

Guidelines have been established so alt-text is written appropriately. And who writes alt text might vary from press to press.

Happy #TermTuesday! Today we're tackling accessibility (in the broadest sense).

Accessible publishing is a nuanced and *important* aspect of book publishing. The way accessibility standards are implemented will vary from department-to-department and press-to-press.

Great for early career folks who are interested in learning more about the acquisitions process! Check it out! 👀
