I’m so excited to announce that I’ve agreed to terms with Encounter Books in New York to publish my first book, “After Progress: How an Ancient Faith Roots a Restless Generation.”

Encounter Books has published some of the great conservative thinkers of the last several decades (and I’ve been a huge fan for quite some time): Thomas Sowell, Allen Guelzo, James Hankins, Roger Scruton, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Heather Mac Donald, Ryan T. Anderson, Wilfred McClay, and many more. I’m thankful Roger Kimball is taking a chance on this project. I believe in it and believe it will help many!

Here’s a bit of background:

Eight months ago, I started writing on Gen Z. My friend Tom Spence encouraged me to expand one of my essays in First Things into a book on Gen Z’s restlessness and how the Christian, small-o orthodox faith offers them roots (a theme consistent in most of my writing). With a lot of help from my agent, Keely Boeving, I was able to really narrow the book down and get it ready. It’s much, much better than I envisioned it at the start.

I’m so thankful to Rod Dreher as well — he championed this project early on and told Tom “Eddie is ready for the big leagues.” I’m not so sure about that, but I’m thankful Rod believes in me!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

More details to come, but I couldn’t resist sharing with you all!
