I'm currently seeking representation for my second political humor book, Not Peace, But a Sword: Why Evangelicals are Not Only Bad for America But Also Somewhat Irritating on a Personal Basis, and I understand that although Chelsea Green is focused on issues relating to sustainability, you've also had quite a bit of success with other books like Don't Think of an Elephant, so I thought I'd get in touch with you first.

I'm a freelance writer based in Austin, and my work has appeared in dozens of publications including National Lampoon, Jest, The Onion A/V Club, AlterNet, and Toward Freedom. My first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was brought out in March by a small New York publisher by the name of Sterling & Ross, and has so far received praise from Alan Dershowitz, Rolling Stone associate editor Matt Taibbi, Air America Radio host Cenk Uyger, The Huffington Post blogger Bob Cesca, as well as from a few other assorted newspapers, magazines, local television network affiliates, radio stations, and blogs. Nonetheless, I'd like to move on to a different publishing house for the second book.

At this point, I have two sample chapters totaling 25,000 words as well as a ten-page proposal. Please let me know if you'd be interested in seeing any of these materials.
