What Dawn is looking for
Dawn is looking for smart, commercial nonfiction with a strong platform and a unique, quirky angle. She enjoys a wide range of topics, including current affairs, offbeat histories, animals, extreme sports, and pop culture. While she is generally less likely to consider memoir, she may be interested if it aligns with her specific interests and fills a gap on bookshelves. She is particularly drawn to history, especially WWII and Holocaust narratives, as well as social issues and current affairs, including women's studies, diverse narratives, and LGBTQIA+ topics.
