    ​The quotation book I edited, The Daily Jane Austen: A Year of Quotes, is just out from for the University of Chicago Press.

    With the support of a Guggenheim fellowship I'm completing biography on sister novelists Jane and Anna Maria Porter, to be published by Bloomsbury in fall 2021.

    When I'm able to elbow my way into it, I also write on roller derby, women, and sports. I recently published a piece on Rollerball (1975) in Slate.
