AI-generated "books" are flooding Amazon and other online retailers. Here is a regular reminder: Take note of who published the books you read or buy. Presses are perhaps more important than ever in helping identify trustworthy resources in a failing information ecosystem.

Worth repeating: "University presses are essential infrastructure for the humanities & should be financially supported in the same way that other higher education inter-institutional infrastructure is." Some powerful examples here:

"I asked Chat GPT" Well we asked an expert and then we asked other experts in that field to review the first expert's work.

one thing about Kate's book WRITE THROUGH IT that I thought was really useful framing was the chapter on self-promotion where she talks about what kind of marketing the publisher is good at (trade reviews, bookstores & libraries) vs. what kind the author is good at (readers, your writing community)
