Published on by susanwbailey

I am thrilled to share that I have signed a contract with Mercer University Press to publish my biography of Lizzie Alcott, The Littlest Woman, a project that I believe holds great significance and value!

Marc Jolley, director of Mercer University Press, and his team have expressed great enthusiasm and commitment to giving Elizabeth Sewell Alcott the attention she deserves.

22603v2v1According to their website, Mercer University Press, established in 1979, has published more than 1,700 books, releasing 35-40 titles annually. Mercer University Press supports the work of the University in achieving excellence and scholarly discipline in the fields of liberal learning, professional knowledge, and regional exploration by making the results of scholarly investigation and literary excellence available to the worldwide community. Publishing authors from across the United States and abroad, the Press seeks and acquires manuscripts that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the humanities with a focus on history, philosophy, religion, literature, and Southern culture.

Mercer University Press is the perfect home for my book because of their commitment to scholarly investigation and literary excellence. It sounds like a cliché but it’s true: God does work in mysterious ways!

We will be working hard to bring this book to the public promptly. I will keep you in the loop at each stage.

Celebrate with me!

Your support and engagement are not just appreciated, but crucial to the success of this project. Your comments, rather than emails, would greatly boost the reach of this post. Thank you for being a part of this journey!

      2. I thought I sent this before, but I don’t see it, so I’ll try again.No Matter where I have to go, I will buy your book ASAP. If indeed, I’m your biggest cheerleader, it’s a privilege and a pleasure!I would also like to thank you properly, for providing. in your Chapter of “The Forgotten Alcott”, Mrs. Alcott’s poignant words, 1st at Lizzie’s Burial, and then when the family moved into the New House; & then when she placed Lizzie’s Bible into May’s hands—how  much indeed (just as you stated in your article about why Lizzie’s life mattered) she, May and the whole family Loved and Cherished and also mourned and grieved over Lizzie.Thanks again. Best Regards Alex L
