#SMH2024
Picked this up at #smh2024. I really enjoyed reading it. Took the extra effort to send the author an email thanking him for writing it. Even got a very nice email back.
#SMH2024 was a fantastic conference — I am so glad I went and met people in person (I'm on my own so much)
Brainstorming panels for next year— I'm torn between proposing a straight-laced panel on post-WWI battlefield tourism and a mischievous panel on military history writing in fanfic communities.

Today, I had a fun conversation about Horsa gliders as compared to Hadrian gliders, and this might actually be one of my nerdiest conference moments ever. #SMH2024
What an *incredible and inspiring* #SMH2024. I'm overwhelmed (in the best way) from the great conversations, engaging panels, and impressive work by #SkyStorians, scholars, students, and publishing colleagues. Safe travels, #MilitaryHistory team. I already cannot wait to see you again next year.
Introducing myself to people at this weekend's #SMH2024, I decided not to be embarrassed by my lack of institutional affiliation — when people asked, I just shrugged and said I don't have a job. It was mostly fine. Historians know how it is out here.
Hi #SMH2024 students, postdocs, early career scholars, and @cornellupress.bsky.social #MilitaryHistory book fans! I have great and unsurprising news! The display books need to find a home in your suitcases because they won't fit in mine. Stop by before 12pm tomorrow for a free book to help me out!
One of my favorite subtitles in the #SMH2024 exhibits hall is at the Texas A&M University Press booth. In fact, would love to see an entire series that uses this subtitle for books on a whole range of topics.
One thing you notice when handselling books at a conference like #SMH2024 is the importance of the index—notable how many browsers consult it before buying (or not buying) a book.
One of my favorite book cover designs in the #smh2024 exhibits hall can be found at the McGill-Queen's University Press booth. I love the spot lamination for the wine stains.
Happening now at the @cornellupress.bsky.social #SMH2024 booth- the award-winning/only copy in the world/soon-to-be released #Battlegrounds book by Susan Grunewald meets the rest of the team!
