Tend to agree with this - publishing open access and digital-first gives us more flexibility on length.

My book Conflict, War and Revolution with @lsepress.bsky.social has nearly 14k downloads, quite an achievement for a scholarly book. But the most wonderful aspect is global reach - despite coinciding with the war against Ukraine I have downloads in Russia and more surprisingly ten in Afghanistan!!!
Congratulations! Excited to see this published
Gisèle Pelicot given France's highest award. I should bloody well hope so.

This a WONDERFUL book! 🌻👇
Publication day for J. McKenzie Alexander’s “The Open Society as an Enemy” with @lsepress.bsky.social
This robust defence of open societies feels vital right now.

I want to quote every line from this magnificent (and hugely deserved) review of Naila Kabeer’s Renegotiating Patriarchy, but will pick out just these:
“Viva LSE Press!”
“The book is a masterpiece”

Some of us are trying. Is there a starter pack of open access, non-profit presses?
Delighted this is out today - Naila Kabeer’s Renegotiating Patriarchy is a brilliant account of the lives of Bangladeshi women. A story of a country, an optimistic tale of feminist progress and an academic book that’s a joy to read. And free via @lsepress.bsky.social press.lse.ac.uk/site/books/m...
