Alexander Rigby

Alexander Rigby is a New York Times bestselling editor with over a decade of experience in the book publishing industry. He is an acquiring Executive Editor at DK.

I am seeking more narrative nonfiction, especially in the areas of memoir, essays, nature, travel, pop culture, history, and humor.

In the visual, four-color area, I am open to receiving more projects in the food/cookbook space, art/illustrated books, photography books, and any other visual book project that you think could be a good fit for me based on my interests and other books I have previously worked on.

I would love to publish works by more diverse authors, especially OWN voices, and members of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

Please check out my portfolio of my published/announced titles by following the link to my website, where a list of all my DK books and previous titles from other publishers can be found.

I am no longer seeking any fiction projects at this time, so please do not query me with fiction manuscripts, as I will be unable to review them or respond.
