The bio for Sparkles reads:
Sparkles the OA Dog is looking to the horizon of scholar-led, community-built & community-owned Open Access. Will retweet for biscuits. All barks my own.
While fun, Sparkles is doing serious work spreading the news for ScholarLed:
a consortium of five scholar-led, not-for-profit, open access book publishers that was formed in 2018. Individually we comprise Mattering Press, meson press, Open Book Publishers, Open Humanities Press, and punctum books, and collectively we are seeking to develop powerful, practical ways for small-scale, scholar-led Open Access presses to grow and flourish in a publishing landscape that is changing rapidly. We want to make sure that change is for the better.
Learn more about the Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs (COPIM) effort to help small publishers to work with large organizations.
