Introducing the Book Engineer
Big announcement: I've launched a book development agency called the Book Engineer, and I am currently accepting new clients!
The Book Engineer takes everything I know about creating books—as an author, an editor, and a brand manager—and puts it all in one place. Here are just a few examples of people whom the Book Engineer is designed to help:
- Brands, influencers, and storytellers across a range of media who are looking to add book publishing under their umbrella.
- Editors with books under contract in need of an outside hand to get those projects into ideal publishable shape.
- Agents representing clients who need editorial guidance to create the strongest possible book proposal to take out on submission.
- Publishers looking for projects designed specially for them, to fulfill a market need.
- Authors who want help in conceptualizing and outlining their next book, or want editorial feedback on a draft.
Learn more about how the Book Engineer can work with you here.

A sneak peek at what's next
I edited an anthology of personal essays about the University of Chicago's infamous Scavenger Hunt. It's called We Made Uranium!, and it's out on April 16. You can pre-order your copy from the University of Chicago Press now, and as a special offer to newsletter subscribers, get 25% off your pre-order with the code URANIUM25.
And... I just sold a new novel! It's timely and fun, relatable and aspirational, and different from anything I've published before. I'll tell you all the details as soon as it's properly announced.

If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say
If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say has been selected as one of Tablet Magazine’s Best Jewish Children’s Books of 2018, and it's been nominated for the American Library Association’s 2019 Quick Picks List. I hope these honors will help even more readers come to this book and to its message of empathy.
