*************
The nonfiction I specialize in ranges across many subjects. I’ve got a strong interest in narratives to do with food, cooking, memoir, journalism, pop culture, sports, humor, popular science, business or biography. In these categories I’m drawn to content that is voice-driven and written by an author with an expertise in their field and a passion for conveying what is new, interesting and/or entertaining about their subject matter.

I’m interested in photo, graphic, and otherwise illustrated books.

I'm interested in books that can be adapted out of blogs or websites.

And I’m also interested in straightforward practical nonfiction, especially when an author has an established platform from which to share their expertise.

My fiction list is selective and I concentrate on plot driven novels for adults and young adults with a strong sense of voice, place and character. I do not represent romance, mysteries, thrillers, or science fiction.
