I’m so very excited to read and then teach this book. Because of your work I now teach a senior seminar on moral narratives in media. I change the theme from time to time-- did a few semesters with misogyny and Down Girl, and now a few semesters on family abolition, but for absolute sure Unshrinking will be the anchor for a semester on fatness. ❤️

I pre-ordered the book as soon as it was announced, and am eager to get my grubby mitts on m copy! I hope you saw Tressie McMillan Cottom's praise of your book in her column in the NYT today.

So many congratulations! I cannot wait to read it (pre-ordered!) and am so grateful for your work. I also really appreciate your candor in sharing different aspects of the process--it's refreshing to see someone share praise for their work, while also acknowledging the discomfort we so often feel in doing so.

I am a professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality studies at Webster University in Missouri. Is there any way to get a desk copy so I can see if your new book would work for my Intro class. I don’t see that this publisher offers desk copies for course adoption???

I'm so excited to read this book and to "twin" with you on the book's birthdate. My second book "Nurture: How to Raise Kids Who Love Food, Their Bodies, and Themselves" will also be published on January 9, with pre-orders available in November. We're on the same trajectory with the book anticipation stuff -- and I appreciate your thoughts about this part of the journey. I'm so glad that you chose to "unshrink" and share the praise that a Dream Team of authors gave your book. This topic is starting to get the recognition it has deserved for far too long. Best to you on the launch (I say "birth") of your new book!
