My Manuscript Wish List®
I’m looking for uplifting adult nonfiction that helps us live in better relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
My top priority is acquiring highly engaging personal growth/self-improvement from established thought leaders, professionals, and influencers in evergreen topics like parenting, productivity/planning, personal growth, health & wellness, and positive psychology. I’m also interested in narrative nonfiction with an investigative edge that sheds new light on a piece of history, society, or the natural world; and breathtaking memoirs of personal resilience, empowerment, and connection.
Please do not send me children’s books, illustrated/gift/coffee table books, fiction, or poetry.
