NB: CMOS 18 no longer recommends s.v. for dictionary citations. End of an era.
There’s nothing hotter than citing the Oxford English Dictionary.

Happy Et al.entine’s Day, everyone!
Honored to write this review of @dan_sinykin's Big Fiction for @HNetBookChannel. Stimulating in itself, this book is also great fodder for further contemplation, e.g., on applications for publishing curricula and conglomeration's implications for editing. networks.h-net.org/group/discussi…

“A crucial verb for writers is revise. Which means, of course, to re-see.” —Allan Gurganus buff.ly/3QN51ND
Academic valentines are back! And by request, some of this year's designs are purely collegial. 💌 (Given shipping estimates, order soon for 2/14.) tweedediting.threadless.com #academicvalentines #academicvalentine

“What is truly extraordinary about any fact-checking department is that it exists at all. At the time of writing, nearly 30 people work in Checking at The New Yorker,” Fergus McIntosh writes. “It is labor, at scale, that produces accuracy.” nyer.cm/Sc0fjrm
My first donut chart, and I love it! I crunched some data re: the manuscripts I've edited over fifteen years; at least 108 of them have become scholarly books. Top fields include religious studies, history, English, and anthropology. Next: figure out how to animate w/o cursor 🙃
It’s beginning to look a lot like CMOS! 📒 @ChicagoManual #cmos #chicagostyle #cmos18 #chicagomanual
Those of you planning to have me edit your manuscripts in 2025, consider locking in 10% off a gift certificate before the end of the year. (People have given these to themselves—just sayin'!)
People have asked, and the answer is yes: I do offer gift certificates for editing. And should I add a special 10% off through the end of the year? Yes, I will! Inquire here or email me at [email protected]. Happy holidays!

@_sen_sharmila @Harvard_Press Darn, I’m not at SBL this year. Loved Lingua Franca (used to just hang out in the stacks and peruse back issues) and curious to read Veritably!
Need holiday gifts for academic writers? I've put together a collection of books I truly recommend. There are craft books, books on publishing, and some examples of great research writing. 📘❄️📘❄️📘❄️📘 bookshop.org/shop/tweededit…

It's University Press Week and we're participating in the #UPWeek Blog Tour! Today's theme is Who StepsUP at, with, or for your press? In her post, managing editor Kathleen Fraser shines light on the important work of copyeditors! #readUP buff.ly/40FwmpN
Very much in support of my AAUP colleagues at PSU!
Largest practice picket yet 13 business days until contract expiration Tick tock, @PSUPresident11 Cudd
You can’t spell “book” without B-O-O! @ChicagoManual 📒
Nor should we want our students to be invisible.
The implication that PSU students are disengaged and don’t want their profs to notice them doesn’t square with my experience in the classroom.
Portland State University president Ann Cudd went on OPB and proposed that increasing class sizes to 25-30 students would be good because "nobody likes to be in a class that only has about 4-5 other students... if you don't show up, you're really noticed" opb.org/article/2024/1…
