What he's looking for
Tom is an expert in developing and selling both commercial and serious nonfiction. He’s especially looking for nonfiction by credentialed experts with strong networks and platforms in these areas: mind-body-spirit, narrative nonfiction, health and wellness, current affairs, biography, psychology and self-help, business, spirituality, popular culture, history (including cultural and social history), science, cooking, children’s nonfiction, LGBT interest, and sports. He’s also open to considering beautifully written and powerful memoirs by well-connected authors.
Regarding fiction, Tom is looking for authors of literary fiction with compelling characterizations and plots, well-written and distinctive thrillers and mysteries, LGBT fiction, and YA fiction.
Please send a query letter with a compelling overview of your project, no more than 20 to 25 pages of sample writing, a concise author bio, and your network/platform description copied and pasted into the body of your email (no attachments or snail mail) to [email protected]. Because of the large number of queries Tom receives, if he doesn’t respond to your query within six weeks feel free to follow up with him; if you don’t get a response, you may assume that Tom is not available to represent your project. Thank you.
