 At LaunchBooks, we're actively looking for compelling non-fiction projects in a wide range of areas, including: Computers and Technology: We cover everything in the world of technology from Web design and development, to digital photography and video, to Windows and Office, to security, to hardcore programming, to the Open Source community, to certification, to game design and development, to eBay and Yahoo! titles, to 3D artistry, and everything in between. Nothing is too technical for LaunchBooks and we have the experience of having successfully represented literally hundreds of books in this area by some of the most highly respected authors in the industry. If you're a recognized expert in a particular area, we can help you to achieve the greatest possible benefit from your writing. True accounts: Do you have the next Professor and the Madman? The next Devil in the White City? The next The Great Influenza? The next Bringing Down the House? The next Control of Nature? Nothing excites us more at LaunchBooks than a great story expertly told. Adventure: What pushes people to drive themselves to the extremes? We're not sure, but we do love to read about it. Do you have the next Into Thin Air? The next Perfect Storm? The next Godforsaken Sea? The next Hot Zone? If so, we want to hear about it. Popular Science & Cultural Titles with a Sociological Bent: Do you have the next Guns, Germs & Steel? The next Longitude? The next How the Mind Works? If Popular Science or Discover would love it, odds are that we will too. Business and motivation: We're looking for titles in this space by major figures in the business world, whether it's a narrative retelling of a business success story, a big picture title aimed at managers, or a fresh approach in the business motivation space. Do you have the next Tipping Point? The next Blink? The next Freakonomics? The next Good to Great? LaunchBooks can help you make it happen. Humor & Popular Culture: At LaunchBooks, we're up for almost anything that makes us laugh. That includes everything from working with successful comic strips to titles that will appeal to the Maxim or FHM set. Sports, Health and Fitness: Do you have a breakthrough diet or fitness title? Do you have a great sports story, or an incredible biography of an athlete? If HBO's Real Sports would cover it, we're interested in hearing about it. Hard Science Fiction: LaunchBooks is also interested in reviewing select hard science fiction projects. Does your work fall into the same space as Kim Stanley Robinson, Dan Simmons, Greg Bear, William Gibson, or Neal Stephenson? If so and your work has already received some awards or recognition at writer's conferences, we'd be happy to review a sample of your work.
