I’m a hands-on agent with deep editorial and international sales expertise whose purpose is to put quality narratives out into the world and help authors build their careers, whether that comprises a single book or 30. I firmly believe that stories of all kinds have the power to open minds and change the world. I sit in the United States and represent global authors writing in English to publishers in North America and others acquiring global English language rights. My work as an agent is a culmination of my decades of experience as a literary editor, foreign rights manager, manager of design and editorial teams, translator, and ghost writer. I have a PhD in literary studies from the University of Washington and have been awarded several awards, including a Fulbright Scholarship. What I’m looking for: narrative nonfiction of universal interest – *expert* storytellers in environmental science, sociology, psychology, medicine, popular culture, history, anthropology, and the very occasional remarkable memoir (individual and of a group) that blends the author’s personal story with their *unique professional expertise* in a particular field.
