honestly, the writing is straightforward enough for a non-academic/non-specialist audience as well—anyone interested in digital lit, check it out 🙂 7/7

sites & cultures. i can say with some confidence that currently this book is one of its kind. the contributors have written for both undergrad & grad students—so, consider adopting the title for your courses. 6/7

wrt the choice of topics, regions & textual practices represented, & so on. not every one of my ideas could be realized in this one volume—this is not an encyclopedic book but one that tracks conversations & tensions about ‘what is (digital) literature’ happening across… 5/7

any book with the word “global” in its title has to tackle the social & political implications of such a burdensome concept. as editor, i tried to not only discuss these implications in the intro but also display awareness about the possibilities & limitations throughout, 4/7

i learned as much about digital literature in the process as i did about people management & time management & expectations management (if any peer/junior scholar wants to know more about my takeaways, DM & i’ll get into the details).
the book was published this summer. 3/7

editing the volume turned out to be fun, yes, but also challenging for many reasons, especially the fact that i was working with scholars based in different corners of the world (india, ghana, hong kong, australia, norway, for example) during a global pandemic. 2/7
