About

Edward Sinclair has represented nonfiction for over two decades, working with historians, journalists, clinicians, and founders. He is a proposal specialist — much of his early work with a client is spent sharpening the question a book exists to answer.

He places books internationally and takes a long view of a nonfiction career, from first proposal to backlist, speaking, and serial rights.
