My agent shouted out my forthcoming books in Politico Magazine the other day, in a story on how the Trump victory impacted publishing:
Meredith Kaffel Simonoff, an agent at DeFiore and Company, said the election encouraged her to take tales from Trump country more seriously. She recently sold to Random House a nonfiction piece set in Appalachia by West Virginia essayist Catherine Moore. The book tracks the history of the region from “the violent West Virginia Mine Wars and the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, up to the politics of today.” She has also contracted a second book by Moore of “literary creative non-fiction essays” centered around Appalachia.
