What Lucy is looking for
Lucy’s nonfiction taste is anchored by her interest in the way culture shapes us (and we shape it). She represents ‘big idea’ books, narrative nonfiction, pop culture/cultural criticism, history, psychology, social science, philosophy, natural science, and select memoir. She’s looking for stylish writers who have their hands on a curiosity-inducing subject, books that add depth and context to conversations in the zeitgeist, and experts that offer readers powerful and urgent clarity about their lives and the world around them. In fiction, Lucy is drawn to novels with sticky or unusual concepts. On the literary side, she loves authors that explore how social issues and human hearts get painful
