It’s been just about a year since Queer Game Studies (University of Minnesota Press), the landmark anthology co-edited by myself and Adrienne Shaw, officially hit shelves in the spring of 2017. Since then, the collection has been doing great, with nearly a thousand copies sold and colleagues across the country adopting the text into their classrooms. Plus, we’ve been seeing reviews of the anthology published in all kinds of venues–from academic journals to pop culture blogs.
