The resulting discussion was interesting and engaging, and I for one will be very disappointed if we do not see a follow-up talk from Kate sometime in the near-ish future on the influence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordnik.com\/words\/fin%20de%20si%C3%A8cle\">fin-de-si\u00e8cle<\/a> illustration on the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\">Marvel MCU<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The chatter on our internal slack&#8211;as expected&#8211;praised the event per se, which to my mind was an exemplary book launch event in a 2022 where the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic continue to shape the ways we interact with the world. However, some of the questions and comments from my RedMonk colleagues also reminded me that while many of the rhetoric and conventions at play during the book launch were familiar to attendees with academic backgrounds, they were less recognizable to Kate\u2019s and my tech industry colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Having spent over a decade negotiating the differences between how the tech industry and academia see, speak, and write about the world (and having <a href=\"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/kfitzpatrick\/2019\/01\/29\/tech-industry-events-vs-academic-conferences\/\">written<\/a> on some of those differences), I thought it might be useful to surface a few points about academic publications that may not be well-known to non-academic audiences, and so I started drafting up a post. About 2400 words in and with a lot more to say on the topic, I realized (with some helpful advice from my colleagues) that it might be a better use of the blog format to carve out a space to regularly think about publishing more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, consider this the first in a tentative series of posts <a href=\"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/kfitzpatrick\/category\/on-publishing\/\">on publishing.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would like to close this post, however, by returning to Kate\u2019s impressive accomplishment in both publishing and launching her first book. Or, to borrow a phrase from our colleague <a href=\"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/rstephens\/\">Rachel<\/a>, Congrats on the book launch, friend!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The world is vast and full of things I don&#39;t know I don&#39;t know.
