I'm really on the hunt for:
  • Idea-driven narrative non-fiction that grapples with what it is to be human (especially in the 21st century), particularly in the areas of economics, nature, organizational behavior, psychology, philosophy, and science
  • Practical non-fiction from authors with well-established platforms in all areas of personal development, including work life / finance / health / wellness / transformation
  • Voice-led (upmarket and literary) novels with indelible characters, unexpected plot points, and compelling perspectives
