Hi! I'm Devoney Looser, a writer and professor at Arizona State University. I also go by Stone Cold Jane Austen, especially on roller skates.
My new book, Wild for Austen, is published in North America by St. Martin's Press, in the UK by Manchester University Press, and by Ultimo Press in Australia. The book honors and explores Austen's writings, life, and legacy, just in time for the celebration her 250th birthday on December 16. 2025.
The Wild for Austen book tour will take me to sixteen cities in four countries! I'd love to see you if I'm headed your direction in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. I've also had the pleasure of being a guest on several radio shows and podcasts, if you'd like to have a listen.
Before this latest Jane-tastic-ness, I wrote or edited eleven other books on the history of the novel, women's writing, and Jane Austen, including Sister Novelists (2022) and The Making of Jane Austen (2017). I also did a series of video/audio lessons, The Life and Works of Jane Austen, for The Great Courses and Audible.
I'm grateful for the chance to connect. If you want to hear the up-to-the-moment latest, then join me on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, LinkedIn, or over on my free Substack author newsletter?
Jane Austen's 250th is going to be wild, and I'm looking forward to celebrating together. Thanks for stopping by here.
Sincerely,
Devoney
