Editor, writer, occasional feral Victorianist.

I'm not sure how much furniture I'll move into this space, but a belated #introduction is probably in order:

I'm a freelance academic editor, an occasional literary writer, & an unaffiliated scholar of Victorian things whose current project deals with crime, gender, & print culture. I think & talk a lot about the devaluation and casualization of editorial & other forms of intellectual work.

I'm happy to talk shop, connect you to editorial resources, pull articles for you, etc. Just ask.

You know how the Eiffel Tower won the Grand Prize at the 1889 World Fair? Well, it had to share the glory with a book.

Not any book: A book ENTIRELY WOVEN IN SILK.

You heard right. And nerds, get this: All pages of this book were produced on the Jacquard loom in 1889, using thousands (200k-500k) of punch cards. Only 50-60 copies were made. >
