WOMAN NO. 17 Edan Lepucki May 2017 Rights: World ►Galleys available
“In Woman No. 17, Lepucki has crafted an intricate, gripping story of people behaving very badly. You will want to race to the end to see what happens, but don’t cheat yourself. This book deserves to be savored –gorgeously written, darkly comic, smart and thrilling.” ‐‐ CYNTHIA D’APRIX SWEENEY, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest
"Woman No. 17 fizzes with references to contemporary culture and sparks with larger, timeless questions: Where is the line between performance and identity? What separates life from art? And can we ever escape the gravitational pull of our parents? Edan Lepucki shows herself to be a sharp‐ eyed chronicler of our modern world." – CELESTE NG, New York Times bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You
“Woman No. 17 is a provocative and timely meditation on art, authenticity and representation in a digital age. The increasingly gripping plot suggests the outcomes of a thriller, but at the crucial moment the novel swerves toward subtly profound truths about our capacity for self‐sabotage and self‐reinvention, the power of trauma to shape lives, and the inexorable gravity of family secrets. Lepucki’s smooth prose and deft handling of point of view reveal a writer fully in command.” —MATTHEW THOMAS, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Not Ourselves
“Taut as a thriller (with plenty of sex and secrets), Woman No. 17 raises big questions about identity, art, ethics, parenthood, and more. In Edan Lepucki's hands, the philosophical is transformed into a page turner; I don't know how she does it.” –RUMAAN ALAM, author of Rich and Pretty

THE RISE AND FALL OF SAM WESTERGARD Ryan McIlvain February 2018 Rights: World English (Translation rights with Janklow & Nesbit Associates) ►Manuscript due late March 2017
An intimate, suspenseful, and provocative novel about idealism, protest and murder from the critically acclaimed author of The Elders.
When Eli first meets Sam Westergard, he is dazzled by his new friend's charisma, energy, and determined passion. Both graduate students at a university in New York City, the two young men bond over their idealism, their love of poetry, and their commitment to socialism, both in theory and practice ‐ this last taking the form of an organized protest against Soline, a giant energy company that is swindling innocent homeowners out of their savings. As an Occupy‐like group begins to coalesce around them, Eli realizes that some of his fellow intellectuals are more deeply ‐ and dangerously ‐ devoted to the cause than others.
Meanwhile, as Sam begins a romantic relationship with Eli's ex‐girlfriend (and fellow protestor) Alex, their friendship gets complicated, as does Sam's engagement to Jen, a music student who is skeptical of their radicalism. As Eli and Sam begin to pursue the CEO of Soline personally, what started out as an academic debate becomes violently real. A fiercely intelligent, wonderfully human illustration of friendship, empathy, and compassion in the midst of political upheaval, Ryan McIlvain's new novel confirms him as one of our most talented and distinctive writers at work today.
Ryan McIlvain grew up in the Mormon Church and resigneds hi membership in his mid‐twenties. His writing has appeared in many journals, including The Paris Review. A former Stegner Fellow at Stanford, he currently lives with his wife in Los Angeles.

Why is tonight different from all other nights? Tonight we kill Dad.
"Tell Me How This Ends Well is Cormac McCarthy's The Road doing 70 mph in reverse on the 405. Reminiscent of George Saunders, Flannery O'Connor, Nathanael West. A comic novel firing on all cylinders, with one eye on the highway and the other to our future." –Daniel Torday, author of The Last Flight of Poxl West
"Like absolutely nothing I've read before, Levinson's brilliantly unsettling, fiercely funny novel takes on both dangerous intolerance in the near‐future world, and in the confines of one wildly destructive family, where ties tighten like nooses and kith and kin can become like warring political systems. Affecting and hilarious, and filled with dark truths that gleam like jewels. I totally loved it." –Caroline Leavitt, author of Cruel Beautiful World
"Witty, acerbic, hilarious, terrifying, and true, David Samuel Levinson's Tell Me How This Ends Well is a treasure." ‐Amanda Eyre Ward, author of The Nearness of You

BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS Lawrence Osborne July 2017 Rights: World (UK publisher: Hogarth UK) ► Manuscript due late March 2017
The new novel from Lawrence Osborne, critically acclaimed author of Hunters in the Dark, The Ballad of a Small Player, The Forgiven and The Wet and the Dry.
On a hike during a white‐hot summer break on the Greek island of Hydra, Naomi and Samantha make a startling discovery: a man, sleeping heavily, exposed to the elements, but still alive. Naomi, the daughter of a wealthy British art collector who has owned a villa in the exclusive hills for decades, convinces Sam, a younger American girl on vacation with her family, to help this stranger, but are her motives borne of altruism ‐ he is, by all appearances, a refugee ‐ or a more selfish desire to bring some excitement into her life? As the two young women learn more about the man and his past, their own burgeoning friendship takes a darker turn, and when a murder occurs on the island, a private investigator arrives and forces them to determine where their true loyalties lie.
In his new novel, a brilliantly atmospheric masterpiece that glows with the sparkling intensity of the Mediterranean sunshine, Osborne returns to the themes that made The Forgiven his breakout novel: the class tensions between wealthy white Europeans and the natives and immigrants who serve them and the way a violent incident can cause reverberations both psychic and cultural that lay bare our own hypocrisies.

MEXICO Josh Barkan January 2017 Rights: World
“I kind of think the purpose of life is to sing,” muses an American picked up by thugs in “The Kidnapping.” “I don’t mean, literally, always to sing, but to sing metaphorically, to sing in some way of beauty, to raise the spirits of our voices in hope.” In that sense, “Mexico” is an ensemble performance for which Barkan composed all of the parts. ‐‐ The New York Times Book Review
“Barkan . . . brings a journalist’s eye to his stories and lends each of his primary characters a believable sympathy and often a life‐changing moment. Despite the inherent compassion in many of these stories, there’s also an underpinning of violence from Mexico’s ongoing drug war that gives them a very unsettled air . . . Masterful stories that peel away at the thin border between everyday life and profane violence inn moder ‐day Mexico.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Barkan turns in a near‐perfect debut collection that’s addictive, delicious, and confounding in its knife‐edge ride through the hard lives of its characters.” —Library Journal, starred review

AN UNBELIEVABLE STORY T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong February 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due summer 2017
Soon to be a Netflix dramatic series written by Michael Chabon and Aleyet Waldman.
Expanding upon the authors’ Pulitzer Prize and Polk Award for Journalism winning article, a deeper look into the story of a young rape victim, who was coerced by the police to rescind her accusation, and the two detectives who later found the rapist years later and thousands of miles away. A fascinating tale that reads like a thriller as the two female police officers work together to unravel the mystery of a methodical serial rapist. The characters— from Marie, the victim of the assault, to the two female cops who took down the rapist, to the perpetrator himself— are remarkable, and the page‐turning story is the perfect engine for a broader exploration of rape culture, and what it will take to change the way we talk about and prosecute these crimes.

EVERYTHING IS YOURS EVERYTHING IS NOT YOURS Clemantine Wamariya and Elizabeth Weil April 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due Summer 2017
The indelible story of Clemantine's childhood as a refugee from war‐torn Rwanda; her new life in the United States; and her struggle to reconcile past and present. She was six years old when her mother and father began to speak in whispers, when neighbors disappeared, and when she heard the loud ugly sounds her parents told her were "thunder." It was 1994, and in the space of 100 days, more than 800,000 people would be murdered in Rwanda. Clemantine and her twelve‐year‐old sister Claire would spend the next six years wandering eastern Africa in search of safety‐ ‐hiding under beds, in banana groves, even in holes in the ground; eating fruit or boiled corn or whatever they could scavenge; finding and fleeing refugee camps. They did not know whether their parents were alive. Claire bore two children.
When Clemantine was twelve, she found a home in the United States, a chance to reclaim the life that had been stolen from her. It was a new and disorienting world with strange ways. She spoke five languages, none of them well, but almost no English, and she had never gone to school. Darkness and invisibility had for so long meant safety that bright light frightened her. There were many generous people‐‐a well‐off family in Chicago fostered her‐‐but Claire, now in her twenties and with two children ‐‐followed a more difficult path, working as a housekeeper at a hotel in order to support her children.
In chapters that alternate between her life on the run in Africa and her bounteous yet perplexing new life in America, Clemantine tells the story of building a future even as she continually collides with the past. What is it like to sit through abstract life‐or‐death questions in a philosophy class when you have seen murder and starvation? How do you carry what can never truly be left behind, and bear witness to what you wish you could? Alive with color (my fear was bright blue), bursting with sorrow and delight; unsparing in its truths; by turns angry, hopeful, and slyly witty, Everything Is Yours Everything Is Not Yours is an indelible story of escape and self‐reinvention.
Clemantine Wamariya is a storyteller and human rights advocate. Born in Kigali, Rwanda,e sh was six when the Rwandan genocide broke out, and received asylum in the United States in 2000, when she was twelve. She holds a B.A. in comparative literature from Yale University, and she serves on the boards of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Women for Women International. She is also an advisory board member at Refugee Transitions. Elizabeth Weil is a Contributing Writer to the New York Times Magazine and coauthor of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's Off the Sidelines.

FIRE ON THE TRACK Betty Robinson and the Triumph of the Early Olympic Women Roseanne Montillo October 2017 Rights: World ►Manuscript available
Film rights have been sold to DreamWorks
For readers of The Girls of Atomic City, Boys in the Boat, and Unbreakable, the inspiring and irresistible true story of the women who broke barriers and finish‐line ribbons in pursuit of Olympic Gold.
When Betty Robinson assumed the starting position at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, she was participating in what was only her fourth‐ever organized track meet. She crossed the finish line as a gold medalist and the fastest woman in the world. This improbable athletic phenom, an ordinary high school student, discovered running for a train in rural Illinois mere months before her Olympic debut. Amsterdam made her a star. But at the top of her game, her career (and life) almost came to a tragic end when a plane she and her cousin were piloting crashed. So dire was Betty's condition that she was taken to the local morgue; only upon the undertaker's inspection was it determined she was still breathing. Betty, once a natural runner who always coasted to victory, soon found herself fighting to walk.
While Betty was recovering, the other women of Track and Field were given the chance to shine in the Los Angeles Games, building on Betty's pioneering role as the first female Olympic champion in the sport. These athletes became more visible and more accepted, as stars like Babe Didrikson and Stella Walsh showed the world what women could do. And—miraculously—through grit and countless hours of training, Betty earned her way onto the 1936 Olympic team, again locking her sights on gold as she and her American teammates went up against the German favorites in Hitler's Berlin.
Rosanne Montillo is the author of two other works of narrative nonfiction, The Lady and Her Monsters and The Wilderness of Ruin.

MY DEAD PARENTS Anya Yurchyshyn March 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due summer 2017
A young woman uncovers letters that make her reevaluate the story of her immigrant parents' romance and marriage under the long‐reaching shadow of the USSR, leading her to the dark truth behind her father's death.
"As I've slowly gotten to know my parents at least a little better, have learned of their struggles, their successes, heartache, and loss, I have finally begun to accept and to love them, maybe not as my parents, not yet, but simply as people." In the wake of her alcoholic mother's death, Anya Yurchyshyn returned to her large, cluttered childhood home on Boston's Beacon Hill to sort through her parents' belongings. She didn't feel sad, rather she was relieved that her mother's decades‐long battle with grueling depression and self‐inflicted isolation were over.
Sifting through old boxes and drawers, Anya discovered artifacts of a life, a love affair and of glamorous people that she barely recognized‐‐yet, these people were her parents. Letters, photos of exotic locales; startling documents and passionate letters revealed stark evidence of a hidden past that forced her to reconstruct and reimagine everything she'd ever known about her life and her family. She'd always assumed that her parents never loved each other; that her mother slowly drank herself to death after her father's mysterious death in the Ukraine; that her father was an overbearing man devoid of compassion. How then, to explain the poetic, profound and playful letters her father wrote; ones returned by her mother's deep words of love and humor.
Part literary thriller, part detective story, My Dead Parents is the account of one woman's relentless quest to solve the tragic and complex mysteries of her past, and in so doing, to come more fully to terms with her life today.
Anya Yurchyshyn graduated with an honors BA from NYU and earned an MFA in fiction from Columbia, where she received a fellowship to teach writing for two years and was then hired as a lecturer. She also worked in the fiction department at Esquire magazine, where she launched The Books Blog and managed and curated the popular Napkin Fiction series and "Last Line" column.

CROSSINGS A Doctor‐Soldier’s Story John Kerstetter September 2017 Rights: World ►Manuscript available
A searing, beautifully told memoir by a Native American doctor on the trials of being a doctor/soldier in the Iraq War, and then, after being wounded and suffering a stroke, of becoming a doctor/patient at home.
In Iraq, as a medic and officer, Jon Kerstetter balanced two impossibly conflicting imperatives‐‐to heal and to kill. When he suffered an injury and then a stroke during his third tour, he wound up back home in Iowa, no longer able to be either a doctor or a soldier. In this gorgeous memoir that moves from his impoverished upbringing on an Oneida reservation, to his harrowing stints as a volunteer medic in Kosovo and Bosnia, through the madness of Iraq and his intense mandate to assemble a team to identify the remains of Uday and Qusay Hussein, and the struggle afterward to come to terms with a life irrevocably changed, Kerstetter beautifully illuminates war and survival, the fragility of the human body, and the strength of will that lies within.
Jon Kerstetter received his medical degree from the Mayo Medical School in Rochester, Minnesota and his MFA degree from Ashland University in Ohio. He practiced emergency medicine and military medicine, serving as a combat physician and flight surgeon for the US Army and completing three combat tours in Iraq. He has also taught disaster relief and practiced emergency medicine in Kosovo, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Honduras.

THE GREAT QUAKE How the Biggest Earthquake in North America Changed Our Understanding of the Planet Henry Fountain August 2017 Rights: World ►Manuscript available
In the bestselling tradition of Erik Larson's Isaac's Storm, a riveting narrative about the biggest earthquake in recorded history in North America‐‐ the 1964 Alaskan earthquake that demolished the city of Valdez and obliterated the coastal village of Chenega‐ and the scientist sent to look for geological clues to explain the dynamics of earthquakes, who helped to confirm the then controversial theory of plate tectonics.
On March 27, 1964, at 5:30 pm, the biggest earthquake ever recorded in North America ‐‐ and the 2nd biggest ever in the Western Hemisphere, measuring 9.3 on the Richter scale ‐‐ struck just off the coast of Alaska, devastating coastal towns and villages and killing over 160 people in what was then a relatively sparsely populated region. In a riveting tale about the almost unimaginable brute force of nature, New York Times science journalist Henry Fountain, in his first trade book, re‐creates the lives of the villagers and townspeople living in Chenega, Anchorage and Valdez, describes the sheer beauty of the geology of the region, with its towering peaks and 20‐mile‐long glaciers, and the impact of the quake on the towns, the buildings, and the lives of the inhabitants. George Plafker, a geologist at the University of California at Berkeley with years of experience scouring the Alaskan wilderness, is asked to investigate the Prince William Sound region in the aftermath of the quake, to better understand its origins. His work confirmed the then controversial theory of plate tectonics that explained how and why such deadly quakes occur, and how we can plan for the next one.
Henry Fountain has been a reporter and editor at the New York Times for two decades, primarily writing about science and technology. Prior to coming to the Times, Fountain worked at the International Herald Tribune in Paris, New York Newsday, and the Bridgeport Post.

ON EDGE A Journey Through Anxiety Andrea Petersen May 2017 Rights: World ►Galleys available
Andrea Petersen was first diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at the age of twenty, but she later realized that she had been experiencing panic attacks since childhood. Although having a name for her terrifying physical symptoms (a racing heart, difficulty breathing, and more) and fears was an enormous relief, identifying it was only the beginning of a journey to understand it—one that takes her from New England mountaintops to the back of a motorbike in Vietnam as she refuses to let anxiety rule her life.
In ON EDGE, Petersen harnesses her personal experience and expertise as a health reporter to explore the biological mechanisms of anxiety and the groundbreaking research that might point the way to new treatments. She excavates the role of genetics and the environment in mental illness by visiting with top neuroscientists, and by tracing her family history—from her grandmother, who, plagued by paranoia, once tried to burn down her own house, to her young daughter, in whom Petersen sees shades of herself. Along the way, she also illuminates the differences between anxiety in men and women, and introduces us to ethe peopl whose support has allowed her to make her life her own.
Andrea Petersen is a news editor and feature writer for the Wall Street Journal, covering everything from health, pharmaceuticals, and aging to travel, home, and family. She has appeared on CNBC, Fox News, and CBS This Morning.

As she had in 2008, Hillary Clinton entered the 2016 presidential campaign as the sure‐thing frontrunner. This time, however, she had absorbed the lessons of her devastating primary loss to Barack Obama and the long journey back to the top that took her through the State Department. Or had she? In this inside look at the 2016 Clinton campaign, acclaimed reporters and authors Jon Allen and Amie Parnes dive deep in Hillaryland to find that in a chaotic election season, Clinton's biggest threat is, as ever, the one she sees in the mirror every morning. Chronicling a race that's hers to lose, and featuring a cast of characters from Trump to Jeb to President Obama to Bill Clinton‐the world's most famous would‐be First Husband‐Allen and Parnes provide an intimate look into the world of the woman who (once again) could have been the first woman president.

KICKS The Great American Story of Sneakers Nicholas Smith May 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due summer 2017
A cultural history of sneakers, tracing the footprint of one of our most iconic fashions across sports, business, and pop culture.
When the athletic shoe graduated from the beaches and croquet courts of the wealthy elite to streetwear ubiquity, its journey through the heart of everyday life was just getting started. In this rollicking narrative, Nicholas K. Smith carries us through the long 20th century as sneakers became the totem of subcultures from California skateboarders to New York rappers, the cause of gang violence and riots, the heart of a global economic controversy, the lynchpin in a quest to turn big sports into big business, and the muse of high fashion. Studded with larger‐than‐life mavericks and unexpected visionaries‐‐from genius rubber inventor Charles Goodyear, to road‐warrior huckster Chuck Taylor, to the feuding brothers who founded Adidas and Puma, respectively, to the track coach who changed the sport by pouring rubber in his wife's waffle iron‐‐Kicks introduces us to the sneaker's surprisingly influential, enduring, and evolving legacy.
Nicholas K. Smith is a 2014 graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism, where he was awarded the Lynton Fellowship in Book Writing. He has worked as a reporter and freelancer for the past ten years, covering a range of topics including science, technology, business, sports, the arts, and local government.

THE GREAT NADAR The Man Behind the Camera Adam Begley July 2017 Rights: World English (Translation rights: Georges Borchardt Inc.) ►Manuscript available
A dazzling, stylish biography of a fabled Parisian photographer, adventurer, and pioneer.
A recent biography begins, “Who doesn't know Nadar?” In France, that's a rhetorical question. Of all of the legendary figures who emerged from mid‐19th‐century Paris‐‐a cohort that includes Victor Hugo and Baudelaire, Gustave Courbet, and Alexandre Dumas‐‐Nadar may be the most innovative, the most restless, the most modern.
The first great portrait photographer, a pioneering balloonist, the first person to take an aerial photograph and launch an air mail service, Nadar was one of the first celebrity artist‐entrepreneurs. A kind of 19th‐century Andy Warhol, he knew everyone worth knowing and photographed them all, leaving for posterity psychologically compelling portraits of Manet, Sarah Bernhardt, Delacroix, Daumier, and countless others‐‐a priceless panorama of Parisian celebrity.
Born Gaspard‐Félix Tournachon, he adopted the pseudonym Nadar as a young bohemian, when he was budding writer and a cartoonist. Later he would install the name Nadar on the façade of his opulent photographic studio in giant script, the illuminated letters ten feet tall, the whole sign fifty feet long. Nadar became known to all of Europe and even across the Atlantic after he launched "The Giant," a hot air balloon as tall as a twelve‐story building, the largest of its time. His ballooning exploits, which include a catastrophic crash that made headlines around the world, inspired his friend Jules Verne to create one of his most dynamic heroes.
The Great Nadar illuminates a larger‐than‐life figure, a visionary whose outsize talent and canny self‐promotion put him ahead of his time.

RUNNING ON HAPPY Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory Deena Kastor and Michelle Hamilton April 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due Summer 2017
“As an athlete I’ve found aside from hard work, the greatest tools for success are optimism and gratitude. These practices have led to happiness and the routine pause to realize I’m living the life I love and dreamed of.” – Deena Kastor
When Deena Kastor was a senior at the University of Arkansas, she assumed her running career was over. She was frequently injured, psychologically burned out, and far more interested in what she was making in the kitchen than anything outside. But she wasn’t finished: when her coach encouraged her to give it one more try, she realized she’d had it all wrong: she was running on talent – something finite and unsustainable – and not running on physical, emotional, and psychological strength. Fast forward twenty years and Deena Kastor amassed 15 national titles in cross‐country, track and marathon. She is the only athlete to hold every American record from 5K to the marathon and the only American woman to break the sub‐2:20 barrier in the marathon. She also won the bronze medal in the women’s marathon at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
What she learned, and what applies to every single one of us, is that the difference between positive and negative thinking is the difference between finishing (dare I say winning) the race and never making it to the course. RUNNING ON HAPPY by Deena Kastor and Michelle Hamilton is Deena’s story of how she found and built an entire life around positive psychology. This is an inspiration to runners everywhere, and applicable to anyone wishing to usher in more positive thoughts. Deena challenges us to look up, consider our surroundings, and dare ourselves to think better.
Deena Kastor has been on the cover of Runner’s World, Running Times, and Competitor magazines; featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and multiple other publications. She is sponsored by ASICS and Fleet Feet, and runs the ASICS Mammoth Track Club with her husband, Andrew Kastor. They live in Mammoth, California.
Michelle Hamilton is a veteran health and fitness journalist and a contributing editor at Runner’s World magazine.

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN SLOWLY A Life in and Out of Jazz Fred Hersch September 2017 Rights: World ►Manuscript available
A memoir of jazz, New York, HIV, a coma and an awakening, and a lifetime of groundbreaking music.
Jazz could not contain Fred Hersch. His meteoric rise as a talented session pianist‐‐one who played with the giants of the 20th century in the autumn of their careers, including Art Farmer, Joe Henderson, and more‐‐blossomed further in the 1990s and beyond into a compositional genius that defied the boundaries of bop, sweeping in elements of pop, classical, and folk to create a wholly new music.
Good Things Happen Slowly is a memoir, but it is also more than that. It's the story of the first openly gay, HIV‐positive jazz player, and a deep look into the cloistered, largely African‐American jazz culture that made such a status both transgressive and groundbreaking. It is a remarkable, at times lyrical evocation of New York in the twilight days of post‐Stonewall hedonism, and a powerfully brave narrative of the illness that led to Hersch's two‐month‐long medically induced coma in 2007, from which he would emerge to create some of the finest, most direct and emotionally compelling music of his career. Written with award‐winning author and music encyclopedia David Hajdu, and imbued with the electric beauty of Hersch's own music, this book is as essential and evocative as Patti Smith's Just Kids or Geoff Dyer's imaginative masterpiece But Beautiful, and as wonderful a book on '70s New York as Edmund White's City Boy.
Fred Hersch has spent more than three decades as an improviser, composer, educator, bandleader, collaborator, and recording artist. He is an eight‐time Grammy Award nominee, and has been hailed by Vanity Fair as "the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade." He is the winner of countless prizes and awards and was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2003. The first openly gay, HIV‐positive jazz musician of note, he has for two decades been a passionate spokesman and fundraiser for AIDS services and education agencies. His latest album, with his trio, is Sunday Night at the Vanguard.

TOMORROW WILL BE DIFFERENT Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality Sarah McBride April 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due summer 2017
A timely and compelling memoir about gender identity set against the backdrop of the transgender equality movement, written by the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign. With emotional depth and unparalleled detail, Sarah McBride shares her lifelong struggle with gender identity, coming out to her parents‐‐ who despite being supportive, progressive thinkers had a devastating initial reaction‐‐ and eventually finding her way as a woman and LGBTQ activist. She also details falling in love for the first time with her husband Andy, a trans man and activist, who passed away from cancer in 2014.
In the same vein as the national bestseller, She's Not There by Jennifer Finney Boylan, Sarah's story of identity, love, and tragic loss serves as a powerful entry point for readers who want to gain a deeper understanding of gender identity and what it means to be openly transgender, especially in today's fraught political climate. Throughout the narrative, Sarah weaves the important cultural and political debates, historical context, and LGBTQ legislative milestones into a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds. Informative, heartbreaking, and ultimately empowering, Tomorrow Will Be Different is a love story and a call‐to‐arms that shines a light on personal stories within the trans community, and demonstrates why the fight for equality and freedom has only just begun.
Sarah McBride is the national press secretary at the Human Rights Campaign, working tirelessly to advocate for LGBTQ equality. In 2016, Sarah made history when she became the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention. She has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, TIME magazine, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue, Rolling Stone.

BIG POTENTIAL Shawn Achor April 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript available
The best‐selling author of The Happiness Advantage reveals why our potential is not limited by what we on our own can achieve; rather, our success is amplified by the successes of those around us. He offers five strategies for exponentially raising our achievement and performance by helping others – colleagues, teams, and employees – be better.
For decades, we have thought about potential as a being a constellation of individual traits: your creativity, your abilities, your intelligence. But new research shows that this version of potential – what Achor calls Small Potential – is deeply flawed, and places a ceiling on the level of success we can achieve. To lift this ceiling and reach new vistas in our careers, we must strive for Big Potential.
Big Potential works not in isolation, but rather a parts of an ecosystem: so that when we help those around us succeed, we not only raise the performance of the group, we also make ourselves better. Drawing on cutting‐edge original research, as well as his work with executives, educators, and leaders around the globe, Achor shows how we all have the power to amplify our own potential by helping others realize theirs.
Shawn Achor has become one of the world's leading experts on the connection between happiness, success, and potential. His research on mindset made the cover of Harvard Business Review, and his TED talk is one of the most populare of all tim with almost 14 million views. He has lectured or worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies, as well as the Pentagon and the White House. He has now lectured in more than 50 countries; speaking to everyone from CEOs in China, to doctors in Dubai, to school children in South Africa. His Happiness Advantage training is one of the most successful corporate training programs in the world.

NOT FROM HARVARD The Surprising Secrets Behind What It Takes to Get to the Top and Stay There, Based on the World's Most Comprehensive Leadership Study Elena Botelho and Kim Powell March 2018 Rights: World English (translation rights with Rees Literary) ►Manuscript due summer 2017
Drawing on a database of over 17,000 leaders, as well as thousands of hours of interviews with CEO candidates, business consultants Elena Botelho and Kim Powell overturn the myths about what it takes to achieve the corner office, and reveal the common attributes and hidden insights to success that have helped over six million CEOs land their jobs ‐‐and what we can apply to our own careers.
Everything we thought we knew about what it takes to get to the top is wrong. You must graduate from an elite college or business school. In fact, only 7 percent of the CEOs of today's companies went to a top school ‐‐ and 8 percent didn't graduate college at all. Given how cuthroat the competition to get to the corner office, you can never suffer a career detour or make a major mistake. In fact, on average, people who have become CEOs have had five to seven career setbacks on their way to the top.
When most of us think of a CEO, we tend to think of companies in the Fortune 100, or 500, or if we're being particularly generous, the Fortune 1000. In fact, however, there are over 6 million CEO's of companies today with under 500 employees. And the overwhelming majority of those CEOs did not go to Harvard, Wharton or Stanford Business School, or the University of Chicago. Some are immigrants; many worked their way up through the ranks from entry‐level positions. They DO, however, share certain attributes. The people who become CEO's are decisive ‐‐ they may not always make the best decision, but they make the best decision they can based on the information they have at the time; they are reliable ‐‐ they deliver exactly what they promised to deliver, on time, without exception.
Elena Lytkina Botelho has advised over 200 CEOs and boards in nearly two decades, first as a strategy consultant at McKinsey and currently as a top billing senior partner at ghSMART.

RED TEAMING How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything Bryce Hoffman May 2017 Rights: World ►Galleys available
Red Teaming is a revolutionary new way to make critical and contrarian thinking part of the planning process of any organization, allowing companies to stress‐test their strategies, flush out hidden threats and missed opportunities and avoid being sandbagged by competitors.
Today, most — if not all — established corporations live with the gnawing fear that there is another Uber out there just waiting to disrupt their industry. Red Teaming is the cure for this anxiety. The term was coined by the U.S. Army, which has developed the most comprehensive and effective approach to Red Teaming in the world today in response to the debacles of its recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the roots of Red Teaming run very deep: to the Roman Catholic Church’s “Office of the Devil’s Advocate,” to the Kriegsspiel of the Prussian General Staff and to the secretive AMAN organization, Israel’s Directorate of Military Intelligence. In this book, author Bryce Hoffman shows business how to use the same techniques to better plan for the uncertainties of today’s rapidly changing economy.
Red Teaming is both a set of analytical tools and a mindset. It is designed to overcome the mental blind spots and cognitive biases that all of us fall victim to when we try to address complex problems. The same heuristics that allow us to successfully navigate life and business also cause us to miss or ignore important information. It is a simple and provable fact that we do not know what we do not know. The good news is that, through Red Teaming, we can find out.
Bryce Hoffman is the author of the New York Times bestseller American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company. An award‐ winning investigative business journalist, Bryce is now a consultant training the executives and CEOs of some of America’s foremost businesses. Bryce was the first civilian invited to go through the U.S. Army’s Red Team Leader Course at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth.

HARMONY THE FATE OF FOOD What We'll Eat in a Bigger, Hotter, Smarter World Amanda Little March 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due summer 2017
Weaving together stories from the world's most creative and controversial innovators in the world of food farming and production, The Fate of Food documents the race to secure the global food supply and explores the future of sustainable food and agriculture.
From dairies in India where microchips embedded in cow flanks transmit real‐time data about the animals’ health and milk quality and into the fields of Nigerian farmers who are growing the world’s first drought‐tolerant rice, The Fate of Food tells the story of human innovation through food, examining both old and new approaches to food production and their costs and benefits in an era of climate change. Amanda Little seeks to answer questions like: can GMOs actually be good for the environment? What are the most sustainable sources of protein, long‐term? What would it take to not just reduce but eliminate harmful chemicals from farming and processed foods? Her investigation takes her to the most extreme frontiers of modern food production, meeting pioneers such as the California food botanist restoring thousand‐year ‐old nutrients in fruits and vegetables and the Dutch entrepreneur mass producing flour made from crickets.
The Fate of Food will tell the defining story of the sustainable food revolution – not the movement of the past decade that brought us farm‐to‐ table restaurants and biodynamic wines, but the broader movement that will feed nine billion people in a hotter, smarter world and a future that is unfolding right now. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of climate change, along with a sense of awe and optimism about the scope of human ingenuity.
A Venn intersection of some of the most important nonfiction titles of the last decade, The Fate of Food has the investigative rigor of Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation, the wow‐factor of Michael Lewis’s The New New Thing, and the perspective‐altering impact of Jeffrey Sachs’ The End of Poverty.
Amanda Little is the author of Power Trip: The Story of America's Love Affair with Energy, and co‐author of From the Ground Up: A Food‐Grower’s Education in Life, Love and the Movement That’s Changing the Nation. Her articles on the environment, energy, and technology have been published in the New York Times magazine, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Wired, and the Washington Post.

HEAL The Next Revolution in Personal Well‐Being Deepak Chopra with Rudolph E. Tanzi February 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due summer 2017
Combining the best current medical knowledge with a new approach grounded in integrative medicine, Chopra and Tanzi offer a groundbreaking new model of healing and the healing system, one of the main mysteries in the mind‐body connection. Heal is a breakthrough book in self‐care for a wide audience. Immunity—the body’s ability to ward off disease—can no longer be taken for granted. From increased jet travel, allowing new mutated bacteria and viruses to have a worldwide reach, to MERSA and other antibiotic‐resistant strains of bacteria that are outstripping new drugs to fight them, to an increase in deaths from hospital‐acquired infections, to an aging population whose childhood vaccinations are losing their effectiveness, our well‐ being is at a dangerous crossroads.
Yet, Chopra and Tanzi, see hope and offer news ways of increasing the body’s immune system by stimulating the brain and our genes, helping to reduce inflammation in the body and increasing our capacities to fight off illness and disease. In the brain, it has long believed that only the innate immune system is at work. However, the recent exciting discovery that the brain possesses a lymphatic system means that it is also tied into adaptive immune system (antibodies, T‐ and B‐cells, etc). This knowledge can be used together with new facts about the gut microbiome to help reduce neuro‐inflammation with changes in lifestyle, diet, and stress reduction.
This is an ideal next book for this pair‐‐the effects of integrative and alternative medicine are being validated every day and this link between meditation and positive gene activity, has important implications for improving immunity.
Deepak Chopra is a pioneer of integrative medicine and the author of 80 books published in 43 languages. Many have been New York Times bestsellers. Rudolph E. Tanzi is the Joseph and Rose Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard University and director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Mark Sisson, health and fitness expert and bestselling author of The Primal Blueprint, reveals his proven effective ketogenic diet plan‐‐a unique program that resets your metabolism in two easy steps, teaching your body to burn fat instead of sugar in order to achieve maximum weight loss and better health.
Want to reboot your metabolism? Help your body burn fat instead of sugar? Reduce inflammation? Go Keto offers a unique program to cleanse your system using a ketogenic diet of low carb, high fat, nutritionally dense primal foods. Unlike other ketogenic plans on the market, Sisson first teaches readers the real secret to rapid and sustained weight loss, which is in becoming “fat‐adapted” before entering full ketosis. This process allows your body to detox and burn fat more efficiently, resulting in increased and sustained weight loss. It takes as little as 21‐days to start the process of fat‐ adaptation by ditching grains, sugars, and vegetable oils—and you’ll see immediate results. Once you’re fat‐adapted, you can foray into full ketogenic eating for further weight loss boost, limiting carb intake to 50 grams per day and completely restricting grains and sugars.
With Go Keto, you can still eat to total satisfaction by enjoying high‐satiety foods, and the best part is that because you're fat‐adapted you will also be able to easily take yourself out of a full ketogenic state by eating a more carbohydrate heavy meals without any negative effects! Complete with meal plans, shopping lists and more than 100 whole food, ketogenic recipes, this definitive program will help the keto‐beginner or the dieter getting back on track, to burn fat, increase energy and live healthier.

THE SALT FIX Why the Experts Got It All Wrong and How Eating More Might Save Your Life James DiNicolantonio June 2017 Rights: World ►Manuscript available
A respected cardiovascular research scientist overturns conventional thinking about salt and explores instead the little‐understood importance of it, the health dangers of having too little, and how salt can actually help you improve sports performance, crush sugar cravings, and stave off common chronic illnesses.
We all know the dangers of sugar and salt, but the danger attributed to the second crystal, according to Dr. DiNicolantonio, is having too little of it,o not to much. Too little salt in the diet can lead the body into semi‐starvation mode and cause insulin resistance, as well as cause you to absorb twice as much fat for every gram you consume. Too little salt in certain populations can increase blood pressure, as well as resting heart rate. We need salt in order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, ensure proper digestion and breathing, and maintain proper heart function.
The Salt Fix will explore how we got to demonize this historically treasured substance as well as what the current science really says about this misunderstood mineral and its effect on your health.
Dr. James DiNicolantonio is a cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy. He is the author or co‐author on more than 150 medical publications, including several high‐profile articles related to nutrition. In the last year, his research has been found in the New York Times, The Telegraph, BBC News, The Globe, Daily Mail, Forbes, and other outlets.

A HEADACHE IN THE PELVIS The Proven Protocol for Understanding and Treating Chronic Pelvic Pain, the Definitive Edition Rodney Anderson February 2018 Rights: World ►Manuscript due summer 2017
The top‐selling, self‐published book about pelvic pain offering the gold‐standard non‐drug, non‐surgical Wise‐Anderson protocol for treating Chronic pelvic pain. This book has only been available online, until now. Our streamlined edition will be the definitive resource for anyone suffering pelvic pain.
Chronic pelvic pain afflicts millions of people (about 55 percent of sufferers are men), and it goes by the names pelvic floor dysfunction and prostatitis, among others. Its causes are hard to pinpoint, so it is often left untreated despite causing excruciating pain. David Wise, Ph.D., went searching for relief 20 years ago after doctors were unable to help him, diving into the medical literature, self‐experimenting, and ultimately joining forces with Stanford urologist Dr. Rodney Anderson. He finally found relief via the muscle relaxation protocol they created.
Their theory is that pelvic floor pain is correlated with psychological distress; the book guides the reader through holistic treatment integrating physical therapy and meditative relaxation, a protocol that studies show allows a third of patients to stop all drugs after six months.

REAL MAGIC Dean Radin February 2018 Rights: World Trade Paperback ►Manuscript due summer 2017
The senior scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) unlocks the secrets to developing supernormal mental powers, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition. Are such things possible? Science says yes!
According to noted Dean Radin, scientist and New York Times bestselling author (The Conscious Universe), each of possess a secret power to create real magic in our lives. And we can do this through the development of certain psychic abilities. But wait, aren’t things like ESP and telepathy just wishful thinking and flights of the imagination? Not according to the author, who worked for the CIA in the top secret psychic espionage Stargate program. Radin has spent the last thirty years of his life conducting controlled experiments that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that thoughts are things, that we can reach each other’s minds, that intuition is more power than we ever suspected and that we can tap into the power of intention (think the Secret only on more honest, effective, and scientific level). Tapping into these dormant powers can help us lead more interesting and fulfilling lives.
Beginning with a brief history of magic over the centuries (what was one person’s magic 2,000 years ago is turning out to be scientific fact today), Radin offers a series of attention training exercised (that’s the key—developing focus, something elite athletes know a lot about) backed with top‐ notch research that helps readers to become more physically of themselves and the world around them.
Dean Radin is a senior scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and adjunct faculty in the Department of Psychology at Sonoma State University. He held appointments at Princeton University and several Silicon Valley think tanks, where he worked on a classified program investigating psychic phenomena for the US government.

THE MIND OF GOD Neuroscience, Faith, and a Search for the Soul Jay Lombard June 2017 Rights: World English only (Translation rights with Sterling Lord) ►Manuscript available
With cutting‐edge research and provocative case studies, renowned behavioral neurologist provides insights to some of the most curious spiritual questions of mortality. For fans of When Breath Becomes Air and the work of Oliver Sacks.
Readers who liked Eben Alexander's Proof of Heaven will love the confluence of science and spirituality in The Mind of God. Like Oliver Sachs before him, Dr. Lombard employs case studies from his own behavioral neurology practice he's been honored as one of the top neurologists in NY to illustrate his arguments with story‐driven poignancy. This book explores the science of what happens to us when we die and what that can tell us about God and our own spirituality. Here, Dr. Lombard addresses the timeless, existential questions with the most up‐to‐date scientific research: Why do so many people report similar near death experiences? Is the brain pre‐programmed to believe in the afterlife? What's the nature of consciousness‐and could it really be "lights out" after the brain dies? Where is the so‐called seat of the soul? and will it survive to the next world? Will we experience reward or punishment after we die? Can we find proof of the immaterial properties of mind (thought and feeling) in brain imaging modalities such as MRI and PET scans? Is reincarnation real, and is there evidence for it in our brains and in our biology?
Dr. Jay Lombard, a board‐certified neurologist, is the co‐founder, chief scientific officer, and medical director of Genomind. The company is committed to discovering the underlying causes of neuropsychiatric disorders, and supports the development of personalized medicine for clinical practice. He has developed a genetic diagnostic test, and has been granted several patents for biomarker diagnostics in psychiatry and neurology.

Dr. James Greenblatt's strong, integrative approach to dealing with ADHD uses natural minerals to treat imbalances in the body so that any child (or adult) can flourish without being held back by ADHD symptoms.
In his practice, Dr. Greenblatt has seen the positive effects of treating individuals rather than simply prescribing medication for their ADHD symptoms. Structured around four phases of healing, Finally Focused details the natural methods used to treat problems such as nutritional deficiencies of magnesium or zinc, dysbiosis (a microbial imbalance inside the body), sleeping difficulties, and food allergies, all of which‐‐unbeknownst to many‐‐can cause or exacerbate the symptoms of ADHD. By exploring each of these possibilities in Dr. Greenblatt's Plus ‐Minus Healing Plan, parents will finally be able to finally get the assistance they need in providing true wellness for their children, whether or not they're already on medication.
ADHD is a medical disorder, not a discipline problem, and this book will address each individual's unique pattern of biological weaknesses to get at the root of the issue.
