Davis, Fiona THE CHELSEA GIRLS: A Novel Historical Fiction | Dutton Hardcover | August 2019 | UK & Translation Rights Agent: Stefanie Lieberman @ Janklow & Nesbit | Editor: Stephanie Kelly Status: manuscript available in December 2018

The Chelsea Hotel has long been New York City’s creative oasis for the many artists, writers, performers, and poets who have called it home—something playwright Hazel Riley and actress Magnolia Mead are determined to use to their advantage. But a red scare is sweeping across America and Senator McCarthy has started a witch hunt for Communists, with those in entertainment frequently being blacklisted from the industry due to unsubstantiated accusations. With the pressure building to name names, more than Hazel and Magnolia’s Broadway dreams may suffer as they grapple with the terrible consequences; their livelihood, their friendship, and even their freedom are at stake as well.

Fiona Davis began her career in New York City as an actress, where she worked on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater. After ten years, she changed careers and began working as an editor and writer. She is the author of The Dollhouse (Dutton, 2016), The Address (Dutton, 2017) and The Masterpiece (Dutton, 2018).

A 911 police dispatcher of 17 years, Laurie Ahmadi considers the department her family; her husband is its first Arab-American chief, and their teenaged daughter Jojo has grown up surrounded by cops, EMTs, and dispatchers. So when Laurie catches a 911 call and, to her horror, it’s a drugged and disoriented Jojo, the whole department springs into action. Jojo doesn’t remember how she ended up at the home of a pro football player famous for his activism against police brutality. She also has no idea where her best friend Harper, who was with her earlier in the evening and never made it home, could be. When Jojo begins to dive into Harper’s social media to look for clues to her whereabouts, she uncovers a shocking secret that turns everything she knew about Harper—and the police department she’s always considered her family—on its head. Laurie and Jojo begin to realize that they can’t trust anyone to find Harper except themselves, and time is running out.

Dr. Amy Blackstone is no stranger to a wide range of negative responses when she informs people that she doesn’t have—nor does she want—kids: confused looks, patronizing quips, thinly veiled pity, even scorn and condemnation. But she is not alone in opting out of having children; more people than ever are choosing to forgo parenthood and openly discussing their choice. Blackstone has studied the childfree choice since 2008. Using her own and others’ research, as well as her personal experience, she delves into the childfree movement from its conception to today, exploring race, gender, politics, sexual orientation, environmentalism, and feminism, stripping away misconceptions surrounding non-parents, and revealing the still-radical notion that support of the childfree can lead to better lives and societies.

Duncan, David Ewing TALKING TO ROBOTS Robotics | Dutton Hardcover | June 2019 | Translation Rights Agent: Mitch Hoffman @ Aaron M. Priest Agency | Editor: John Parsley Status: manuscript available in November 2018

Throughout history, humans have been infatuated with the notion of artificial intelligence. But now the moment is fast upon us when super-intelligent robots—robots that we can truly talk to and interact with—are poised to arrive for real. Drawing from his own expertise, as well as extensive interviews with robot experts, engineers, entrepreneurs, philosophers, and thinkers, David Ewing Duncan will explain how these robots function as machines, and also what they say about us as humans: our hopes, anxieties, myths, stories, and ideas about life and artificial beings. And while we continue to be equally intrigued and apprehensive about the impending robo-future, our fascination with robots has always been less about the potential techonology, and more about what robots can tell us about what it means to be human.

Hankir, Zahra OUR WOMEN ON THE GROUND: Essays by the Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World Social Science| Penguin Trade Paperback | August 2019 | UK & Translation Rights Agent: Jessica Papin @ Dystel Goderich & Bourret LLC | Editor: Gretchen Schmid Status: manuscript available

In OUR WOMEN ON THE GROUND, nineteen Arab women tell us, in their own words, about what it's like to report on conflicts that are, quite literally, close to home. From sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the impossibility of traveling without a male relative in Yemen, their challenges are unique—as are their advantages, such as being able to speak candidly with other women or gain entry to places that an outsider would never be able to access. With a foreword by Christiane Amanpour, these daring, shocking, and heartfelt stories shatter stereotypes about Arab women and provide an urgently needed perspective on a part of the world that remains inscrutable to outsiders.

Zahra Hankir is a Lebanese-British journalist who writes about the intersection of politics, culture, and society in the broader Middle East.

In February 1874, a tiny Confederate submarine, the H.L. Hunley sank the USS Housatonic in the Charleston harbor, making it the first submarine ever to be successful in combat.

Drawing on 36 years of experience at the Defense Department, this memoir provides clear insight into the most important decisions of the last four decades, shedding light on exactly what happens inside one of the nation’s most iconic buildings and most closely guarded institutions.

Most kids get their first smartphone at the same time that they're experiencing major developmental changes. Making mistakes has always been a part of growing up, but how do parents help their kids navigate childhood and adolescence at a time when social media has the potential to magnify the consequences of mistakes?

Drawing on research and interviews with educators, psychologists, and kids themselves, this book offers practical advice for parents to help their kids avoid the pitfalls and reap the benefits of the digital age.

Shen, Kristy & Bryce Leung QUIT LIKE A MILLIONAIRE: How to Retire Decades Early and Travel the World Personal Finance | TarcherPerigee Trade Paperback | July 2019 | UK Rights Agent: Andrea Somberg @ Harvey Klinger, Inc. | Editor: Nina Shield Status: manuscript available in December 2018

Kristy Shen retired with a million dollars at the age of 31, and she did it without hitting a home run on the stock market, starting the next SnapChat in her garage, or investing in hot real estate. It may sound complicated, but Shen is here to tell us that if she did it, anyone can. After growing up in abject poverty in China and working as a middle-class immigrant professional in Canada, she now travels the world as a retired millionaire. In QUIT LIKE A MILLIONAIRE, she shares the mindsets that she developed at each income level that launched her to the next, showing how to cut down on spending without decreasing your quality of life, build a million-dollar portfolio, fortify your investments to survive bear markets and black swan events, and use the 4% rule and the Yield Shield—so you can quit the rat race forever.

Kristy Shen and her husband Bryce Leung are Canada's youngest retirees, and the founders of Millennial-Revolution.com. They have been featured on CBC, the Huffington Post, CNBC, BNN, Business Insider, and Yahoo Finance. To date, theirs is the most shared story in CBC history, and their viral video on CBC's On the Money has garnered 4.5 million views. Shen is a frequent speaker at the yearly Chautauqua financial retreat in Europe and Ecaudor, and she will be featured in a Netflix documentary about the Financial Independent Retire Early movement (FIRE), Playing with FIRE, slated to be released in 2019.
