In recent years, one of my great pleasures has been helping to further the work of others. Three examples:A colleague at another university had developed a book on Northern Exposure but not succeeded in securing a publisher. I was able to not only enhance the quality (and quantity) of the essays contributed but find a publisher—Critical Studies in Television—which brought it out as a special issue.

On another occasion I was able to find a publisher for an in-development book on the films of the Coen Brothers for which I was a contributor. The collection would appear as a special issue of Post Script: Essays in Film and the Humanities.

When I learned that a contributor to three of my books was developing a book on Dexter, I was able through my contacts alone to secure contributions to the book from television scholars in four countries. The book has now been published by I. B. Tauris.
