Popular Nonfiction Book

Household Names: How Eight Creative Victorian Children Changed History is my forthcoming work of narrative nonfiction. It tells the interlocking stories of eight young creators — many of them famous in their own right — who influenced classic nineteenth-century authors and still silently shape definitions of creativity today. Professionally agented, the book is nearly complete, and I aim to submit it to editors in early 2023.
