Are you interested in working together?
Please read these guidelines.
If you would like me to consider your nonfiction book project, please email me a query with the following information:
* Description of the book. * If it's not obvious, please confirm it's nonfiction. I'm only considering nonfiction projects at this time. * A little about you, specifically credentials and experiences that relate to the book topic. * If you're doing anything (speeches, consulting, teaching, podcast, writing) that reaches people who may buy your book. * Anything else you want me to consider. Please put QUERY in the subject line and everything else in the body of the email, as I can't open unsolicited attachments. If interested, I will contact you within two weeks to request additional material/your proposal. After I've received your proposal, feel free to follow-up with me after a couple of weeks to a month if you haven't heard from me. You do not need to submit materials to me exclusively; however, if I requested to read your proposal and you received an offer of representation elsewhere while I'm still reviewing it, I'd appreciate you letting me know. Thank you for your interest in working with me. |
I used to put submissions to publishers in a folder and send them to the publisher, sometimes by mail or messenger, but more often I'd drop them off after taking my kids to school. Now my kids are young adults and submissions are electronic; yet, why oh why do I still have too much paper? (These were actual papers next to my desk.)

I am interested in the wide range of nonfiction, especially reported narrative, current events, business, science, health, and self-help. Please consider my recent deals and books as a loose guide to the kinds of projects that interest me but if you're unsure (and it's nonfiction), just try me. Please note the only fiction projects I consider are from current clients.
