Whether they involve photography, comics, illustrations, or art, I’m taken by creative storytelling with visual elements, four color or black and white. I'm also interested in visually-driven and illustrated books. In nonfiction I'm especially interested in narratives in history, memoir, journalism, science, natural history, military history, sports, pop culture, and humor. I don’t handle science fiction, romance, supernatural or young adult. I'm open to anything with a strong sense of place, voice, and, especially, character and plot. In fiction I'm looking for literary or commercial projects in either contemporary or historical settings. I'm excited by original ideas, strong and unique points of view, detailed research, personal expertise, and passion for subjects that give readers fresh perspectives on things they think they know. If you don't have a platform let's not worry about it. I'd rather my authors start a trend than follow one. I take a deliberate, editorial-minded, and collaborative approach to projects across genres. "I love working with authors to develop their stories at whatever stage in their career.
