My main interest is in finding new voices that speak with and to gen x, y, and millennial audiences. I am looking for proposals/manuscripts for both adults and young adults with topics on lifestyles that address do-it-yourself and conscious approaches to living, personal health and wellness, science and spirituality and non-religion, as well as emerging social awareness, movements, and ideas.
