At this stage of the agency, I do not take on many new clients.   Most of my new clients have been by referral.  I have to believe strongly in a book I take on, either in terms of its importance or in the sheer commerciality of the book, and it would normally be in one of the topic areas listed below.

Nonfiction narrative books are most compelling to me, which encompasses a broad spectrum.

_{^{I no longer consider first fiction authors, so please do not query for novels unless you have already had some aspect of your fiction published.}}

Business & Finance:
        MANAGEMENT:  
                   New trends and directions, revelations, emerging technological
                   shifts, global issues.   Note: I am not interested in seeing any
                   retirement "what I learned in my 30-year management career"
                   books. 
          
          BUSINESS NARRATIVES: 
                   "The Story of...";   "How X Became # 1";   "The Making of X"
                    These typically come from business journalists following current
                    and emerging trend stories, which I am often interested in.          

          FINANCIAL: 
                   "Lessons From...";   "Profiting From....";  
                   "What You Need to Know About...."
                    I represent Robert Hagstrom and Michael Mauboussin
                    so your work should be distinct from their work.


Health/Medicine/Nutrition:

          Narratives from the field by professionals--
                    Neurology, Nursing, ER, Surgeons, Pediatrics, ICU, et al

                    I represent Cole Giller,MD -- see his PORT IN A STORM--about how
                    to make major medical decisions and live to tell about it.
 
           Leading edge research --emerging fields or breakthroughs
 
               Disease/ immunology / aging

         Nutrition Guides of any sort would have to be by an author
                    with an established marketing platform.  I already represent
                    Elaine Moquette Magee who covers a broad spectrum of
                    nutrition titles, and Kelly James Enger who writes and co-authors
                    health and nutrition books.


Women's Issues:
            These books can encompass memoirs, essay compilations, personal
               growth books, research & studies---across fields like communications,
                    education, family and relationships, mental health, physical health, work
                    and careers, aging, spiritual well-being.....
  
                I represent Suzanne Caplan -- see her new women's web portal --
                     www.womenetcetera.com


Psychology/Sociology/Personal Growth:
            This area is for professionals writing from their private practices
                    or client-based work, for the general trade audience, across a broad
                    arena.   For example, see the many books from my author Tina
                    Tessina, and from Peggy Vaughan.
