“[University Presses] need a Bandcamp moment-people realizing their friends won’t have bands if no one buys music or merch.” Let’s make this happen.
Here's a long thread on an issue dear to my heart. This Tuesday evening I’m doing an Intellectual Publics with Macarena Gomez-Barris on publishing. Like last year’s conversation with Denise Cruz, or the prior year’s with Racquel Gates, we will talk about how to find a publisher, turn a thesis... 1/
