Happy publication day to Eoin Higgins, whose new book OWNED is now available wherever books are sold! If you want to understand how we reached this crisis point at the confluence of tech, media, and venture capital, this is THE book.
OWNED is out today. The result of years of research into tech, media, the right, it traces how billionaires like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Marc Andreessen have used their wealth to influence the media to their ends.
I hope you check it out

We've learned that someone is impersonating Erik over email and maybe even by phone. We are working to address this of course. In the meantime, remember that no reputable agent--including and especially a Headwater agent!--will ask you for up-front money as part of a rep. agreement.
IMPORTANT: I have just been made aware of someone using my name to try to scam writers into weird contracts with fees. If you receive an email from an "Erik Hane" asking you to sign something with up-front costs attached, that is extremely not from me. Do not give anyone your money! Jesus christ

Tbh writing any book for traditional publication is by definition a long shot. And every single element of our lives is politicized, so from where I’m sitting? Write the book you can’t stand to not write. If it’s off-trend market-wise, just wait. It’ll come around again.
Is it worth writing anything with a political bent anymore? Like, books about book banning or racial politics: are they more trouble than they’re worth, or were they always a long shot?

Hi, I'm Erik. I'm a literary agent and one of the founders of @headwaterlit.bsky.social. I also host @printrunpodcast.bsky.social, a show about the publishing industry that, if you followed me because of that publishing starter pack, you will love. I do both these things with @lzats.bsky.social.
