I publish a wide variety of books across several categories, including general nonfiction, literary fiction, illustrated books, memoir, biography, graphic novels and nonfiction comics, as well as literature in translation.

Everything interests me, provided the writer makes their subject fascinating. My favorite books use narrative to explain how the world works, the hidden dynamics of things: history, politics, science, economics, sociology, ethnography, epistemology, etc. Think of me for books on education, pop culture, natural history, long-form journalism, and music.

Here's a link to my list of previously published and forthcoming books:

There's also a haphazard track of my wider reading habits on Goodreads.
