📖4/ I'm not looking for memoir or business books. I’m looking for smart, well-structured nonfiction that reveals how the world works, who holds power, and what’s at stake. Think synthesis, storytelling, and serious ambition. #MSWL

📰3/ Journalists: I’m drawn to books with depth and urgency. If you’re reporting on a topic that matters—climate, surveillance, migration, inequality, power—and can combine a compelling story with rigorous analysis, let’s talk. #MSWL

🕰️2/ Historians: I'm looking for projects that bring the past alive in vivid, accessible prose. If you're an academic with narrative skill and writing for general readers—on war, politics, technology, empire, race, culture, anything big—I want to hear from you.

📚1/ Gramercy Lit is open for nonfiction submissions! I'm especially eager to hear from historians and journalists with big, ambitious book ideas aimed at a wide audience. If you're working on something narrative, deeply reported, and driven by original insight, please read on.

Strong storytelling skills are as important in nonfiction as they are in fiction. Structure and language are key.

For nonfiction, platform is important. Academics who own their subject, who’ve done more thinking and research about it than anyone else, stand out. But your writing chops are what makes it sellable.

FOR NONFICTION, I acquired history for years as an editor. I love big, bold, definitive books that shake up how we think of a person or event.
