Emma Explores 19th-century publishing in Britain through her family research.
With each episode, you can count on learning about unexpected twists in history and brilliant new techniques in research. Emma brings this genius every time. Next week, we’re in for a treat as she dives in to share stories about her 2x great-grandfather, Edward William Cox (1809-79). In our conversation, Emma referenced the grand society wedding covered in the press. Here’s that post:
In her tale, she gives us a front-row seat to explore this golden age of newspapers, advertising, and publishing. Emma’s business acumen gives her a special insight into the dynamics of these businesses, and she’ll share research strategies for this kind of approach.
These Emma Explores sessions are hosted on Zoom, so you will need to register to attend. They are free, however and recordings will also be shared with all Projectkin subscribers.

You may know that the Substack app is a terrific place to sit back and read, watch, or listen to Projectkin (or any of your publications), but did you also know that its use by your readers can significantly increase their exposure to new publications? (Including yours.)
Over the past 90 days, more than 82% of my new subscribers have come from the Substack network, with recommendations and subscriptions significantly boosting our presence in the app. There are problems with it, certainly, but it’s a great place to start.
