Doug Young has worked in the book industry for over three decades, latterly as a publishing director at Penguin Random House, where he worked for 17 years. He joined PEW in 2019 and is interested in hearing from writers with a story to tell, mainly but not exclusively in the form of non-fiction, and people who write in a distinctive voice or from a fresh perspective. His range of interests is broad – including history, popular science and politics, as well as memoir and the occasional off-the-wall novel.
