About Me

I'm the editorial director of Harper Perennial and It Books and the editor of Fifty-Two Stories (www.fiftytwostories.com), which publishes a new story every week. Novelists I work with include Jess Walter, Tom Piazza, Ben Greenman, Blake Butler, Chris Miller, Nick Arvin, and Jon Stephen Fink. Nonfiction writers include Neil Strauss, T. J. English, Stanley Crouch, Patrick McGilligan, Legs McNeil, and Amanda Brooks.

Why do you write?

There is always a glint of potential hovering near the horizon, perhaps illusory, perhaps within reach. I am running toward the glint.

Any favorite authors? Books?
