"Facts are such horrid things!" #JaneAusten
🎂 After celebrating Austen's 250th birthday, we found ourselves wondering what it is about Jane - why this endurance? Who better to chat with on than @devoney.bsky.social, one world’s leading Austen scholars, and author of #WildForAusten!

Squee! We're on a new podcast. My caro sposo and I dusted off our he-said-she-said act for a tussle over the 1995 vs. 2005 Pride and Prejudice adaptations on Period, with Alison Thoet de Castillo. Grateful for the chance to talk #janeausten , #adaptation & #wildforausten www.buzzsprout.com/2592047

“Seriously informative and enormous fun.” So grateful for this lovely review of #wildforausten in the Sept/Oct issue of Jane Austen’s Regency World magazine, to which I happily subscribe (and recommend to you). And once again, Happy 250th birthday to #JaneAusten!
It’s the 250th anniversary of #JaneAusten ‘s birth, and maybe she wasn’t the meek and mild author you imagined. @devoneylooser ‘s #WildForAusten is a delightful collection of anecdotes and excerpts about the wild version. Also an audiobook narrated! @stmartinspress @macmillan.audio #netgalley

Thrilled that #WildforAusten is included in Lit Hub's "Best Reviewed Books of the Week," wedged right there in between Arundhati Roy and Eric Foner! So grateful for all of the support for this book and the continued attention to #JaneAusten in her 250th birthday year.
A P&P film with Judy Garland in Philly? Not a #Janeite game of Clue! It almost was in 1947. This material is not in my new book #WildforAusten. It's a new #JaneAusten legacy story about a wild unpublished script and my first @airmail.news byline! Hope you'll read & share

It's my book's bday! The last piece of #WildforAusten goes into place tonight at its launch at Changing Hands Phx. There are so many to thank. I'll be expressing gratitude over the coming days. Today it feels right to thank #JaneAusten for inspiring so many of us to read, watch, argue, laugh & love.

Thrilled that the audiobook of #WildforAusten (out Sept. 2nd) will be narrated by award-winning Marisa Calin! Calin's voice is enchanting & mellifluous, with just the right amount of humor & sass. Grateful this #JaneAusten book has such a perfect-fit narrator.
