My Manuscript Wish List®

I am looking for illustrated and text-only nonfiction titles in art and design, lifestyle, wellness, body/mind/spirit, and creative and personal development for RP Inspires, Studio, and Minis lists at Running Press.

In art and design, I am seeking projects that marry some traditional art book sensibilities with commercial awareness and appeal.

In all categories, I am especially looking for work that blends a personal narrative with a larger social/cultural message, particularly those that champion underrepresented voices and women’s stories.

I am also drawn to titles that cross boundaries between the categories in which I acquire, such as self-development for artists or lifestyle books with a touch of wellness.
