@DerekKrissoff @chronicle @ChronicleReview Thanks for writing this, Derek.

I’m in the Chronicle (!) with a new essay arguing that university presses are best positioned to continue doing good work if their successful books (and not the prospect of some disruptive transformation) are put at the center of how they’re understood. Link follows.

So proud of my nephew, @ben_goodacre, signed by @WVUBaseball for next year. Keep it up, Ben. Looking forward to seeing you on the Blue Jays in a few years.

Last day @UAlbertaPress. So many feelings.

The closure of the deeply library-aligned press at the University of Cincinnati feels like a prompt to talk more openly about both the positives and the challenges when university presses report to libraries. It's a topic I wrote about a few years back: krissedoff.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/lib…

@ei_schwartz @NYUpress @FordhamPress @aupresses Can I get one of those?

My colleague @MatBuntin is moving on to become Director of Wilfrid Laurier University Press. He is a wonderful mix of smart, organized, funny, and thoughtful, and we've worked together for 17 years at various presses. Congratulations Mat - I'm happy for you and I will miss you!!

@SnowHydro @UBCPress @UAlbertaPress Don't worry. The team has got you covered. The care they put into the books will never change.

So... Some news. As of November 18, I'll have the enormous honour of taking over from Melissa Pitts as the new Director of @UBCPress. I'm incredibly excited to join their brilliant team and am looking forward to the new adventure.
