The Headache book cover

The Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT is excited to host a panel on the process of pitching, writing, and publishing a book, from the perspective of the agent, the writer, and the editor.

Mackenzie Brady Watson of the Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency is a literary agent focusing on narrative non-fiction for all ages, and select fiction and illustrated books. She is particularly interested in interdisciplinary narratives that sit at the intersection of science and society

Tom Zeller is the Editor in Chief of Undark Magazine and the author of the new book The Headache: The Science of a Most Confounding Affliction—and a Search for Relief.

Alexander Littlefield is the Executive Editor at Little, Brown. He has a soft spot for investigative journalism, narrative non-fiction, science, and true crime, and above all else, loves books with an edge and with a mission.

Each will share their insights and expertise and answer questions about the process.

Please contact Learning and Events Coordinator Claire Sadar if you are interested in attending.
