Hello? Is this thing on?

SHARP (Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing) is on Mastodon! Apologies for any hiccups as we work on getting used to the platform.

In the meantime, we'd appreciate getting the word out so we can stay /get connected with folks interested in book history.

@sharporg Welcome SHARP! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ
@mazarine Thanks, Shannon! So happy to connect on here! ๐Ÿ˜€
@sharporg recommend spattering your posts with hashtags so others can find you. People canโ€™t do keyword searches across different Mastodon instances. But people can do searches for hashtags.so eg for you post things with #BookHistory in there somewhere, and anything else appropriate. Hashtags help spread the word. Glad to see you here! All the best from this member.

Thanks for excellent advice, @vivdunstan

We'll start shining the #BookHistory hashtag across instances (like a bat signal), so hopefully our members will be able to find us. ๐Ÿฆ‡

@sharporg nice to meet you! Thanks for clarifying that youโ€™re not the same as Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice. Both great groups!
