I am now acquiring books for West Virginia University Press as an editor-at-large. Please feel free to contact me if you have manuscripts or book ideas to share!
I am interested in adventurous and dazzling literary fiction, essays, creative nonfiction, history, scholarship, photography, and other documentary works — most especially, though not exclusively, those that illuminate, evoke, or have some point of connection to the Appalachian region, whatever that might mean to you. Special affinities include labor history, the natural world, music, the meaning of place, indigenous history, and the documentary arts.
