About
I used to think a good story is all about the revelation. Through years of experience, I learned that a good story is actually about small, specific truths you can't stop chewing on.
An earthworm that isn't supposed to be there. A bird feeder engineered against squirrels. A word—like deserving — that everyone uses and no one examines. I've built a writing life out of noticing the unexamined inheritances hiding inside ordinary things, and I've come to believe that's the central skill of writing a book that actually moves people depends on finding the small true thing an argument can stand on.
I work with researchers, lawyers, and social scientists who have spent years building real expertise and have started to suspect that expertise alone won't be what changes anyone's mind. A journal article persuades a room of specialists who already agree on the terms of the debate. A book persuades someone who's never thought about the question before — and that requires a different kind of writing entirely. Not simpler. Different.
I'm not a specialist in your field, and I've come to think that's useful rather than limiting. I read your work the way your ideal reader will: genuinely curious, willing to be convinced, grateful when you explain something clearly instead of expertly. I'll tell you when I've lost the thread. I'll tell you when the real argument is hiding two paragraphs below the one you're making. And I'll push, because the people I work with are usually trying to do something that actually matters — challenge a narrative, reframe a problem, help a reader see something they'd stopped questioning.
