Hello, I'm Devoney Looser, Regents Professor of English at Arizona State University, I'm excited to share the news that my next book, Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters, Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontës, is out October 25, 2022, from Bloomsbury USA. My work on this first biography of these fascinating, once-famous, and now-forgotten sisters was generously supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship and National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar Award. I'm also the author or editor of nine other books, including The Making of Jane Austen and The Daily Jane Austen: A Year of Quotes. I've done audio and video lectures, too, in a series of 24 30-minute lessons on Jane Austen that's available through Wondrium/The Great Courses and on Audible. Most people call me Devoney (DEV-oh-knee), since Looser (LOH-zher) gets butchered, nine times out of ten. Enduring those childhood playground taunts about my last name definitely made me stronger! I also go by Stone Cold Jane Austen, especially when I'm on roller skates. There's more information about what I've been up to lately, and where I'll be speaking next, at www.devoney.com and on Twitter & Instagram at @devoneylooser. If you'd like to keep in touch, please subscribe to my free bimonthly author newsletter, at devoney.substack.com. I'm happy to be in touch with you, if there's something you think I should know about, especially on the subject of strong women from Jane Austen to roller derby. Sincerely, Devoney
