Two new pieces on publishing in the Rust Belt just this month—it’s an exciting time to be in the region, and to be helping tell postindustrial stories. Email me at dkrissoff_gst at kent dot edu if you’ve got a book project of your own you’d like to pitch.

Great seeing so many recent titles from Kent State University Press at Loganberry Books in Cleveland! Big thanks to them—and to independent bookstores everywhere—for their support.
We’re preparing to unveil our fall catalog, which is a nice excuse to look back on select KSUP catalogs from the past sixty years!
