The Marketeers Club: AAUP Residency, Chicago Edition

univnebpress

The last time I was in Chicago, my favorite store was American Girl Place. So when I found out my AAUP residency application was approved I was excited to see the city again, this time without my Samantha but with a new job title and eagerness to learn how the University of Chicago Press varied from UNP. My initial intentions when applying for the AAUP Residency Program centered on the growing importance of social media in business practices. I wanted to gain a better understanding of university press publishing as well as network with a university press with the prestige … Continue reading The Marketeers Club: AAUP Residency, Chicago Edition

We are all aware of those “usual suspects” but one of the many questions that we should be asking ourselves is “what’s next?” A handful of UPs have taken on Instagram (one of my personal favorites), YouTube, LinkedIn, and Tumblr, but the next big thing in social media will come along and we will have … Continue reading The Marketeers Club: University Presses and the Questions of Social Media

The Marketeers Club: Watching FX No Strain on University Presses

univnebpress

This past weekend, I was enjoying my Sunday routine of relaxation and watching the latest television series from FX, The Strain. While I do thoroughly enjoy the vampire/zombie/apocalyptic mashup, some of the characters’ backgrounds feel a little forced. For example, Kevin Durand’s character, Vasiliy Fet, is a second generation Russian living in Brooklyn, NY. His occupation: exterminator for the NYC Bureau of Pest Control. Of course, like any good Russian rat-killer, viewers of the show find out that he has a difficult past with his father, a scholar of architecture. For you see, Fet had a scholarship to get his … Continue reading The Marketeers Club: Watching FX No Strain on University Presses
