ASU's Story on My Guggenheim Fellowship
4/25/2018
 I'm incredibly grateful to have been named a 2018 Guggenheim Fellow. I'll be completing a book on the once-celebrated, now largely forgotten sister novelists, Jane and Anna Maria Porter, during my fellowship year. Hear more about that project on the WhatsHerName podcast and in this two-minute ASU video, which accompanies the print story ASU did to publicize my award. So grateful for all ASU does to get the word out there about its faculty's research accomplishments.

2018 Guggenheim Fellow
4/7/2018
 I can't quite believe it's true. I've been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for my book-in-progress on the once-celebrated and now-forgotten sister novelists, Jane and Anna Maria Porter. It's the only fellowship awarded this year in the category for English literature! To be among this group of fellows is stunning and humbling. I owe a huge thanks to so many mentors, supporters, and colleagues who were there every step of the way. https://www.gf.org/…/2018/04/Nominations-By-Field-US2018.pdf Celebrating Women's History Month!

Newswhistle: Skate or Jane Austen?
2/23/2018
 Don't make me choose! Thanks to Laura LaVelle and Newswhistle.com for generously doing an interview with me this week, after having run a review of The Making of Jane Austen guessing that I might be fun at a party. I am always grateful for opportunities to test that theory!
MJA for IHE Reader's Choice Award
12/12/2017
 Friends, you made it happen, "by a wide margin"! Your votes for my book led it to a win for the Inside Higher Ed Reader's Choice Award for 2017. I'm so grateful for your support, of me and my book, The Making of Jane Austen, and of my fantastic publisher, Johns Hopkins University Press. The Press has had its books win this award (which is based entirely on reader votes/likes on social media) three years running!
 Thanks, Phoenix Magazine for featuring me, my book on Jane Austen, and my favorite sport and hobby, roller derby, in your November Issue "Spotlight" section. I love the shot that Madison Kirkman got, and I'm so grateful to Keridwen Cornelius for crafting such a fun interview. It's a great time to love both Austen and derby. . . .

Amazing Decatur Book Festival
9/4/2017
 Austenland's Shannon Hale's bunny ears over Lemony Snicket's Daniel Handler in post-dancing Jane Austen silhouette impersonations produced my favorite photo from the Decatur Book Festival. But an image can't capture the energy of 600 authors and 80,000 attendees, sharing important ideas, beautiful writing, laughing, cheering, crying. Met so many amazing people and talked writing, books, and history. Thank you, DBF, for bringing me along to talk The Making of Jane Austen.
