I was thinking I might be good for submitting something to this: Informed Agitation: Library and Information Skills in Social Justice Movements and Beyond - http://radicalreference.info/blogs... Anything I should consider about the editor, publisher, etc.?
This is from Library Juice Press, Rory Litwin's thing. I find Rory's writing to be off-putting in complicated ways, but I have no direct experience with him. You might ask some of the authors who have published there what they think?

Thanks, Steve - not sure who those are off the top (we're pretty isolated in medlibs), but will look into it.

Lauren Pressley is friendly and approachable (though I don't know her well you can tell her I suggested you talk to her). Wayne Bivens-Tatum is certainly a sharp guy, and he's the most recent author for Library Juice Press. Might not want to mention me in that case, though...

RadRef people are good people. The ones I know, anyway.

Agreed about RadRef. The editor is a RadRef person, but the publication is Library Juice.

I don't know much about Library Juice, so comments about that welcome as well.

Melissa, who is the editor, is a friend and an occasional participant here in the LSW room. I know her from RadRef, and she's great.

I don't always agree with Rory, but I think Library Juice Press puts out very nice books.

I'm just seeing this now (not that I would have had an unbiased response to the question about the editor. Which is me). Thanks, Laura X, and yes! If you are moved to submit something, please do, and feel free to get in touch with me directly with any questions or ideas.

Awesome, thanks, Melissa! I had forgotten you were on here. I'll be in touch.
