Every Great Story Raises a Legal Question

Whether you’re recommending a book, sending a review copy, or just saying hello, I’d love to hear from you!

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m always looking for recommendations from readers, authors, booksellers, librarians, and publicists. If you’ve come across a novel or nonfiction book where the law shapes the story, I’d love to hear about it.

Courtroom dramas and legal thrillers, of course. But I’m just as likely to write about literary fiction, historical fiction, memoir, or narrative nonfiction where the law shapes the story in unexpected ways.

Not at all. Sometimes the most interesting legal stories barely look like legal stories. If there’s a whiff of a subpoena, a contract dispute, a constitutional question, a property fight, or an ethical dilemma, I’m in.

Absolutely. I welcome review copies, advance reader copies, and pitches for books where law plays a meaningful role. If the book feels like a good fit, I’d be happy to take a look.

Yes. I enjoy discussing how authors research legal issues, historical settings, and complex real-world precedents. To see an example, check out this interview with Tom Lutz on Chagos Archipelago. If you think your book offers rich material for a deep-dive discussion, I’d love to hear from you.
