Found it, thanks Ana! Sad I missed the conference this year but hopefully I’ll be able to attend the next one 🤞🏽

Oh, that sounds great! Thanks Ika 😊

(P.S. has anyone made a sports history/ sports research starter pack yet?)

Thanks Ika! So many research projects, so little time! But hopefully I’ll get to it one day 😊

Do you remember who posted about a reading-related project? It would be great to connect with more reading researchers ✨

So, building a name for yourself as a history reviewer in smaller pubs then helps when pitching to bigger pubs

In Aus., I know that many pubs just don’t have the money to invest in new/ upcoming reviewers, so they tend to rely on reviewers that they already know or who are known to a general audience.

to get published, although it does perpetuate the bias.

(I have a background in community radio and have interviewed prominent authors, publishers, editors in Aus)is key when pitching. And demonstrating the book’s appeal to a general audience. There’s certain biases around which types of histories appeal to general audiences, so leaning into that helps…

Thanks for the tag, Deb! I mostly review historical fiction in smaller pubs, like The Big Issue. From my experience, being able to balance specialised knowledge (academic historian in particular area) with the ability to write for a broad or general audience…

Can you please add me to the list? ✨

omg, that’s dedication!
