The Work: Books That Start Conversations

People often ask what kinds of books I represent. The truth is, I don't start with categories; I start with people.

Every book on this page began with an author who had something important to say. Each one represents a partnership I'm grateful for.

These books reflect the kinds of ideas I love helping shape and champion. Some challenge the way we think. Others offer hope, healing, a new way of seeing the world. They span many subjects and audiences, but they all have one thing in common: They started with a compelling voice and an idea worth sharing.
