My book WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE about the 1969 murder of Harvard archaeology graduate student Jane Britton is out today. I hope you'll check it out. bookshop.org/books/we-keep-…

@bySofiaAndrade @washingtonpost Congratulations Sofia!!!

✨Personal news✨ After 2 fantastic summers at @washingtonpost, I'm now a PhD student at NYU, in Spanish & Portuguese lit. I'll be reading & writing in NYC for the next few years, throughout which I look forward to doing more freelance work. :) Editors, do get in touch! (in bio)

I am very much looking forward to speaking with @thecooperrrr at @cambridgepl tomorrow 6-8.  In Massachusetts, District Attorneys have jurisdiction over homicides. We Keep The Dead Close is about another murder in Middlesex County and the story is still very much relevant today.  Hope to see you there.

The Waltham Murders is a library book by design. It's true crime, it's a memoir, but it's also a resource for people here, now, and in generations to come. I am so grateful for this opportunity. Hope to see you there.

@DavidWondrich I'm writing a piece about tiny cocktails for T magazine, and I would love to talk to you about their historical context. Would you have time for a quick phone call?

A deeply caring piece. Grateful to have had the chance to share my thoughts. Bon courage, Phil!

@kategorveatte 🎯 precisely what my now-husband said about his Christian college experience when he read it for the first time

i'm reading a book about a murdered student at harvard in 1969 (We Keep the Dead Close) and harvard's rules for their women's dorm open hours in 1969 are the ~exact~ same as my christian college in 2019 and idk if i should laugh or cry

hello publicists, editors, publishers, et al—i'm looking to publish more *nonfiction book excerpts* over at @the_millions, particularly from small and university presses (though all are welcome)! would love your pitches—my inbox is open sophia(at)themillions(dot)com 📚

Another example of how Massachusetts privacy laws block access to information about allegations of sexual abuse.

@PortiaMcGonagal Hey if you're into true crime at all I cannot recommend We Keep The Dead Close by Becky Cooper highly enough. That goes for absolutely everyone.

Thanks for including me in your list of best True Crime books, @SamBaker

@_victoriahaslam No higher praise! Thank you for reading

This book deserves to be acknowledged as one of the best and most compassionate true crime investigations of all time. I felt so connected to Jane that I cried reading the last pages. Thank you to @thecooperrrr for introducing me to Jane. This will stay with me forever

@_alberttang Congratulations!!

Being a book cover designer and staying up nights not understanding what the author/editor/publisher want for their covers has well prepared me for being a father. Thank you, publishing. 🤓
