In books

I discovered this week that I was listed in the acknowledgments of A Journey Through American Literature by Kevin J. Hayes. It says, "I also kept a blog during the composition of this book, encouraging readers to respond to various questions such as what constitutes literary greatness, what are the best short stories in American literature, and what autobiographies deserve recognition as literature. I thank Rebecca Ford at Oxford University Press for overseeing my blog. And I thank everyone who responded: Mark Athitakis, Nigel Beale, Phyllis Funke, Michelle Glauser, Kelly Parisi Castro, Karen Resta, Sanjay Sipahimalani, Jerry Waxler, and Daren Young." The blog was hosted on Oxford University Press, and I remember responding to it, but my googling is only showing a post about this specific topic wherein I commented with a question and not really anything helpful. So either I was thanked just for commenting, or there's another comment or blog post I'm not finding. Anyway, I thought that was interesting. I'm also quoted in Better Allies: Everyday Actions to Create Inclusive, Engaging Workplaces by Karen Catlin — she liked a tweet I shared about better words to use for group meetings than "powwow" and asked if she could share the alternatives. It says on page 145: "My friend Michelle Glauser—found of Techtonica and creator of the Bay Area's 2015 #ILookLikeAnEngineer ad campaign—offers a slew of alternatives, including 'meeting,' 'check-in,' 'talk,' 'huddle,' and 'one-on-one.' I wrote a chapter of Habits of Being about my grandma's journal, I was one of the editors for as|peers (though I asked for my name not to be included), I did all the editing for someone's doctorate, I wrote a chapter for my own master's thesis, I had a big hand in several school yearbooks, newspapers, work newsletters, I worked closely with Holly Welker to create a chapter of Baring Witness that was eventually cut during the final edits, I was interviewed for a couple of studies and books about diversity in tech that I don't recall the titles of now, and I've written a couple of books in Google Docs that I've never sought publishers for.
