So glad to see this group emerge (and was sorry to miss the launch event).
My interest in OA books started out as with my role as an OA advocate in a bundle of fields (media, communication, film studies) that span the book vs. article cultures. I started to write about these topics, and more recently founded a nonprofit, OA publishing house, mediastudies.press. I’m excited to see how this group evolves.
