I’m a feminist book and publishing historian who loves teaching with publishers’ archives. I’m currently writing a group biography called “Love, War and the Book Society: The Story of Britain’s First Celebrity Book Club” and am co-investigator of the Modernist Archives Publishing Project – a feminist Digital Humanities project on C20 publishers’ archives. Forthcoming is The Edinburgh Companion to Women in Publishing, 1900-2000, which I’ve co-edited. My first book was Home in British Working-Class Fiction and I’ve worked with independent publishers on the Ethel Carnie Holdsworth reprint series. I value inclusive research, collaborations, and have experience working with non-HEI [Higher Education Institution] partners.
