About
I’m Senior Editor and Outreach Co-Ordinator at
Open Book Publishers, a leading independent not-for-profit Open Access book publisher, founded and run by academics.
I work with
ScholarLed, a consortium of academic-led, not-for-profit OA book presses of which Open Book Publishers is a founder member, and I do outreach work for
Copim, which is building open, community-governed infrastructure to develop and strengthen Open Access book publishing.
