@shafrhistorians.bsky.social do yourselves favors and speak to these incredible series editors about INTERCONNECTIONS. Leaving it and them behind remains one of the hardest things about leaving UNCP and is one of my proudest legacies to the press and especially the field.

Julia, Chris, and I will be at SHAFR next week! Reach out if you’d like to connect! @shafrhistorians.bsky.social

PSA ⬇️ If a review questionnaire from a press doesn’t have language in it that essentially says “you’re not allowed to use AI to review this manuscript,” tell the press that they need to update their document.

Joseph M. Adelman@jmadelman.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Don't write your manuscript reviews using AI. DEFINITELY do not feed someone else's manuscript into AI and have it write the review for you.

I’m not on here much anymore, but have to chime in with my warmest congrats to @gauthamrao.bsky.social on the publication of White Power. This was one of my last acquisitions at @uncpress.bsky.social but among those of which I’m most proud (despite the fact that he’s a Liverpool super fan). 👏🥂⚽️

Gautham Rao (pronounced: Knicks in 5)@gauthamrao.bsky.social · 3mo ago

It is publication day for my book, White Power: Policing American Slavery. Here’s the unboxing, with a trip down memory lane. Thanks so much to those who helped make this a reality, esp. my amazing agent Dani Segelbaum, @dgershenowitz.bsky.social @uncpress.bsky.social @sonyabonczek.bsky.social

Thx @publisherswkly.bsky.social for showing how it takes a village to publish an idea. 2 people remain unseen: @brndnpr.bsky.social, who had the initial conversations with John, & me, the editor who acquired & edited it. We’re no longer at @uncpress.bsky.social but our contributions remain.

Beautiful.

@bloomsburyacad.bsky.social is open for business at the National Interpretation Association annual meeting in a Virginia Beach! We have swag and FREE books, so come by the exhibit before everything is gone! @naiinterpreters.bsky.social

Together again, this time at @bloomsburyaced.bsky.social. @wirechairs.bsky.social

A wild @newsobserver.com story about one of my @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social forthcoming books, THE ACCIDENTAL PICASSO THIEF. I love the Chapel Hill angle -- keeps me tied to my beloved @uncpress.bsky.social! www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

The story of a stolen Picasso, a gangster’s threat and a family’s long adventure

Whit Rummel of Chapel Hill is publishing his account of his family’s brush with danger and intrigue in the 1969 theft of an art masterpiece

I knew the insides of @amyefarrell.bsky.social’s book were fantastic, but WOW the outside is a work of art. Since Lionel won’t let me near it I guess I’ll have to order another copy from @uncpress.bsky.social - and you should too!

Just 2 kids from the IU Bloomington graduate program in history playing grown-up at the @aaslh.org conference. John Dichtl at the AASLH helm and me hawking @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social books, which are available at a deep(er) discount until 4 pm today at the booth!

Hello, Cincinnati and #AASLH / @aaslh.org from @bloomsburyaced.bsky.social! We’re open for business tomorrow at 9 and look forward to meeting our authors and discovering new ones.

In a “when worlds collide” moment, got to finally meet @uncpress.bsky.social author and @aaslh.org’s @johngmarks.com!

Hello, Cincinnati! For all those who have missed the #debbie’sstunninghotelviews series, I’m very pleased to reveal that while I have a new job that could not be more different from the last several, the conference hotel views are the same. #aaslh2025 @aaslh.org @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social

Hi to all coming to Cincinnati this week for the @aaslh.org meeting! I'll be representing @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social w/ 2 wonderful colleagues, so please come by the booth to introduce yourself (esp. Charles Harmon's authors, now mine), pitch a book idea, & browse our stellar collection of books.

Let’s see how well my commuting muscle memory performs on day 1 of new job. First job in over 2 decades where I can’t hit the ground running and I’m terrified!

More details about job news: this was such a hard decision bc it was about staying where I am or going into the unknown. For 25+ yrs I’ve worked to be one of the best history editors in the @aupresses.bsky.social world. I finally got there and @uncpress.bsky.social had a ton to do with that. 1/5

Welp, as they say: I knew this news was going out over the @aupresses.bsky.social wires today but I thought I had more time to tell the hundreds (literally, 100s) of beloved authors and all who love history that I accepted a job as an editorial director at @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social very recently.
