I’m a writer and editor based in London. I develop and co-write nonfiction books—mostly about history and science—for leading scholars and public figures, while also pursuing my own long-form projects.

My writing has appeared in The New York Times (where I was formerly an editor at T Magazine), Slate, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast Traveler, and other publications. In 2020, I published The Planter of Modern Life, a biography of the Lost Generation novelist and visionary American farmer Louis Bromfield. The book won the IACP Award for literary/historical food writing and was long-listed for the Plutarch Award for best biography of the year. My work has been recognized with fellowships from the Leon Levy Center for Biography and the National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar program. 

I am currently writing my second narrative nonfiction book, forthcoming from W.W. Norton. You can reach me here.
