Sian-Ashleigh is from the suburbs of New York and goes by her full first name. At WME for five years and counting, she’s always on the hunt for books that’ll make her laugh or cry on the subway.

Max Sinsheimer of Sinsheimer Literary is a nonfiction literary agent based in Washington, DC, focused on food, popular science, history, memoir, and social issues. He’s also a former Oxford University Press editor with a soft spot for academics who can write for general audiences!
I represent: adult nonfiction in the following genres: history, biography, memoir, narrative journalism, popular science, prescriptive, cookbooks, travel, and true crime.
I am specifically looking for this genre at the conference: Journalistic nonfiction that weaves a personal narrative into a larger societal story. For instance, Mario Ariza’s Disposable City is about how inadequately prepared Miami is for the inevitable sea-level rise. But his pitch to me began with his decision to move back to Miami and buy a home in the city he grew up in, only to realize that many of the properties he viewed would literally be under water within a 30-year mortgage term. Climate change can feel like a distant threat, but Mario managed to make it concrete and immediate. That approach of finding a personal hook into a wider issue will get me every time. 
Three sentences of advice for pitching me: A good pitch tells me what the book is, who it’s for, and why you are the right person to write it in as few words as possible. And it leaves me wanting more. I promise I’ll read the more detailed description in your proposal if you tell me just enough to intrigue me during the pitch session.
Absolutely, positively do not pitch me: anything that purports to prove the existence of God or miracles. Motorcycle and hiking memoirs. A relative’s autobiography or memoir that you are helping them write or sell. (Family histories make wonderful gifts; I know because I helped my grandfather self-publish his memoir. But unless your relative is truly noteworthy and has a strong promotional plan, there is very little commercial appeal!)
I’d love to be pitched the next: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone (Lori Gottlieb) or Five Days at Memorial (Sheri Fink). I’d love to represent more funny, illuminating memoirs and works of entrenched/investigative journalism that make closed worlds suddenly accessible.
Two fun facts about me: When I was 8, I complained to my parents that movies always have happy endings, so my dad sat me down and showed me “Planet of the Apes.” Also, my first job out of college was as an editorial assistant at Oxford University Press, and the first book I worked on was The Oxford Companion to Beer. It got me deep into homebrewing for much of my twenties!

I am specifically looking for this genre at the conference: LGBTQIA+.
Three sentences of advice for pitching me: Relax, I’m new at this, too. Show me your passion. Don’t be afraid to be yourself.
Absolutely, positively do not pitch me: Religious stories.
I’d love to be pitched the next: Last Night at the Telegraph Club.
