So wonderful to see punctum books π going from strength to strength!
A living testament (among many others active in the @copim@hcommons.social and @RadicalOA@hcommons.social communities and beyond) that sparkly #DiamondOA for #OAbooks can actually work! π
> For the first time in our fourteen-year history, we have reached a threshold of financial stability whereby we have the salaried staff we need to do the work we want to do at a pace that is liveable, everyone is being compensated above academic publishing industry standards, and economic sustainability is no longer something we hope for: it is a reality, especially thanks to the libraries who have decided that investing in community-led Diamond OA book publishing is a vital and valuable wedge against the wholesale commercial privatization (theft) of publicly funded knowledge production and exchange.
