My Manuscript Wish List®

My list includes narrative non-fiction, commercial and literary fiction, memoir, self-help, history, pop culture, humor, and sports.

I can love nearly anything, if the storytelling is there. I try not to overthink it or intellectualize it. If I pick up a piece of material and I find myself immediately drawn into the world the writer has constructed, you’ve got me. If I can’t put it down, even though I have a million other things to read, you’ve got me. And this applies to non-fiction as well as fiction. I believe all books need: a strong story arc, fully-realized characters, excellent plotting, a perspective that feels new and alive, prose that sings but doesn’t get in the way and hopefully insight into what it means to be us.
