series on Parlor Press that might be of interest to some of you. <a href="https://parlorpress.com/pages/x-series" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">The series is called “The
X-Series,”</a> and we picked an intentionally open-ended series name because we’re
open to a wide range of ideas from authors. I think a bunch of people on this
listserv could be great fits.</span></p>

our new book series. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Garamond,serif;color:rgb(5,5,5);background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">The series will publish shorter, peer-reviewed
books (~35k words) that are deep dives into a specific topic: it could be an
oft-ignored technology, a single word, a concept, a moment in history, or
whatever else you think of. I'm open to ideas.</span> And most importantly, we
want X-Series books to be *fun*. We want books that bridge the gap between
academic and public writing and tell us something new about things we take for
granted.</p>

some of you. Also, for a bit of background on Parlor Press…Parlor is a growing
independent academic publisher that had a book longlisted for a National Book
Award last year. The Press was created in 2002 and has published more than 500
authors (~350 books total), including multiple high impact academic books. If
you want more info, I can send you a Parlor Press fact sheet. </span></p>

open to a wide range of ideas that fit the series, so if you have that shorter
book you’ve always wanted to write, maybe this is your chance. Finally, feel
free to share widely and send other people our way if they might be interested.
