Nonfiction Open

An innately curious person, she is seeking nonfiction projects that dig so deeply into a unique subject that they reveal universal truths about ourselves and society, practical books that inspire a more fulfilling lifestyle and help us grow in our relationships and build community, and those that excite our sense of taste, style, adventure, and wonder. Her specific areas of focus are: narrative nonfiction, cooking, lifestyle, psychology, sports (currently seeking projects in skiing and baseball), nature, spirituality, wellness, humor and pop culture. She is always partial to projects with a southern sensibility or a west coast vibe.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
