@Book Publishers
This foundation owns only the intellectual property I’m willing to give away for free. I’ve got a lot more to say, that’s a lot less charitable. 😏
I’ve been writing for nearly a decade, publishing 400-word essays on Instagram for my in-real-life friends. I covered everything from guns, politics, racism, and parenting to history, science, and technology. I’m ready to grow those delicate takes into not so delicate books.
✍️ Project 1: An Essay Anthology
Working Title: Unapologetically: Essays
Think: Arguably by Christopher Hitchens. I want to expand my best Instagram essays into several-thousand-word pieces. They are thoughtful, provocative, and written for a wider audience. The topics have less science and religion, and way more acerbic cultural commentary. Scroll down through the last 25 posts for a demo.
👨👩👧 Project 2: A Parenting Book
Working Title: Sticks and Stones: Will Break My Bones, but Words Will Irreparably Damage Me Forever
Think: My Life as an Experiment by A.J. Jacobs. I want to unpack all the experiments I attempted on my children, all the ways I failed as a parent, and all the ways our society has failed the next generation. So this is a bold, honest discussion of how language shapes our children far more deeply than we admit using humor, research, and lived experience. I’ve been pitching the material in-real-life for years.

@publishingagents: If you represent some of the best authors in the world, and you’re willing to represent me, I want an agent who can get me more than $2.50 per book out of the publishers. You can also email me here.
