The Secret History of Empty Lots

I am delighted to share the news that my book The Secret History of Empty Lots, a work of narrative nonfiction about urban nature and how to find the path to a greener, rewilded future, building on the same material as my Field Notes newsletter, will be published by Timber Press, which is part of Hachette Book Group. We are targeting fall of 2024 for publication, and I am excited to get to work on writing this, after a busy summer developing the proposal. Here’s the deal announcement as it appeared in Publishers Lunch:

Thanks to my literary agent Mark Gottlieb of Trident Media Group, and to Stacee Lawrence Gravelle and her colleagues at Timber Press for seeing the promise of this material and providing such a great home for the book.
