One more #MSWL post. It's not enough for nonfiction authors to have a good idea and to write skillfully. I tell my clients they must quanifty themselves. Don't expect the publisher to build your platform; they seek to leverage yours!

Hi Booksky! I've repped a fair share of pop culture and memoir, as well as pop science. I'd love to do more pop science from authors who have strong institutional support and/or major media platforms. Also would love to sell something that helps us see Shakespeare or Nabokov in a new light.
