Melville House

My Manuscript Wish List®

I’m an editor at Melville House, an independent publisher in New York. I specialize in popular science/tech, current events, culture, business, and “big idea” books of all kinds. As an editor, I love to find unheard or underrepresented voices and help make their book the thing everyone is talking about.
