My Manuscript Wish List®

I am an Associate Editor at Dutton, where I work on non-fiction and select fiction. Previously I worked at HarperCollins, Hachette Book Group, and A3 Artists Agency.

On the non-fiction side, I’m interested in health & wellness, personal development, business, psychology, pop culture, sports, cultural criticism, science, history, journalism, political science, and platform-driven cookbooks and illustrated books.

I am also considering fiction, including thrillers, science-fiction and speculative; humor; stories involving sports; and anything set in the American West. I’d love to find a thriller in the world of finance, or a novel in the vein of SUCCESSION.
