Stash Wealth
To change the way young
professionals think about their money. A financial solution for high earners was long overdue. We took it upon ourselves to create a one-stop shop for young professionals. HENRYs™ [High Earners, Not Rich Yet] are ignored by traditional financial institutions because you aren’t rich yet. And even if you do find someone willing to help, the conversation is usually limited to discussing your investments. But what about the rest of your financial life? Navigating student loans, starting a family, money and your relationship, etc. There’s so much more to personal finance than the legacy institutions are willing to help with.

PWS BOOK CLUB
Reading list curated by Liz Parker, Head of Publishing at Verve.
THE VANISHING HALF by Brit Bennett
“Bennett’s gorgeously written second novel, an ambitious meditation on race and identity, considers the divergent fates of twin sisters, born in the Jim Crow South, after one decides to pass for white. Bennett balances the literary demands of dynamic characterization with the historical and social realities of her subject matter.”-The New York Times
SUCH A FUN AGE by Kiley Reid
“A complex, layered page-turner…This is a book that will read, I suspect, quite differently to various audiences-funny to some, deeply uncomfortable and shamefully recognizable to others-but whatever the experience, I urge you to read Such a Fun Age. Let its empathetic approach to even the ickiest characters stir you, allow yourself to share Emira’s millennial anxieties about adulting, take joy in the innocence of Briar’s still-unmarred personhood, and rejoice that Kiley Reid is only just getting started.” -NPR
DOMINICANA by Angie Cruz
“Told in first person, in an unadorned voice both childlike and wise, Dominicana takes us inside the mind of its very young narrator…And a small miracle happens in the book’s pages…a woman bravely setting forth on a new life, finding and conquering America on her own newly learned terms, and facing a future as hopeful as an infant’s bright eyes.”
TRUE STORY by Kate Reed Petty
“Spellbinding . . . Petty leaps from genre to genre with dizzying velocity. . . to show the way trauma works on us, how it shapes our lived experience. . . tantalizing us with the ‘truth’ about what really happened to Alice. . . even as the term itself feels increasingly useless, deceptive.” -Megan Abbott, The New York Times Book Review
NOBODY WILL TELL YOU THIS BUT ME by Bess Kalb
“Reliably funny…poignant on the aftermath of loss. Written from the sometimes acerbic, sometimes sweet and always laser-sharp perspective of [Kalb’s grandmother,] Bobby Bell … in between are loving recollections of their relationship, including snippets of conversations and voicemails and a steady supply of life advice.”–Chris Barton, Los Angeles Times
CASTE by Isabel Wilkerson
“This book has the reverberating and patriotic slap of the best American prose writing. . . . Wilkerson has written a closely argued book that largely avoids the word ‘racism,’ yet stares it down with more humanity and rigor than nearly all but a few books in our literature. . . . It’s a book that changes the weather inside a reader.”-Dwight Garner, The New York Times
HOOD FEMINISM by Mikki Kendall
“In prose that is clean, crisp, and cutting, Kendall reveals how feminism has both failed to take into account populations too often excluded from the banner of feminism and failed to consider the breadth of issues affecting the daily lives of millions of women. . . . Throughout, Kendall thoughtfully and deliberately takes mainstream feminism to task . . . [but] if Hood Feminism is a searing indictment of mainstream feminism, it is also an invitation. For every case in which Kendall highlights problematic practices, she offers guidance for how we can all do better.”
HOW TO BE FINE by Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer
From the beloved co-hosts of the By the Book podcast comes a humorous and insightful look into what advice works, what doesn’t, and what it means to transform yourself. And in 2020, what more do we need?–NPR
GROUP by Christie Tate
“Over-achieving young lawyer Christie Tate gives readers an inside peek into the highs and lows of group therapy. Recovering from an eating disorder and battling depression, Tate reluctantly turns to this communal form of psychotherapy. Funny, emotional, and insightful, Group is sure to be a breakout hit.” –Good Morning America
WHISTLEBLOWER by Susan Fowler
“Sharp and engrossing…A powerful illustration of the obstacles our society continues to throw up in the paths of ambitious young women, and the ways that institutions still protect and enable badly behaving men.” -The New York Times Book Review
Liz Parker
In April 2018, Liz Parker packed up her life in New York and moved to Los Angeles to launch Verve’s publishing division, where she continues to bring books to the forefront of Verve’s conversations.

She has also successfully transitioned many of her clients to screenwriters, working closely with the television and motion picture teams. Parker continues to be a valuable asset to Verve in guiding their non-publishing clients to explore new media opportunities with books and expanding Verve’s business into the ever-popular podcast arena. As one of the few book agents on the West Coast, Parker is also a published author, having previously written for the New York Times ‘Modern Love’ column, and finishing her debut novel, set to be released in June 2021 by Lake Union Press. Prior to Verve, Parker was a literary agent at InkWell Management and, prior to that, the publishing director of Counterpoint and Soft Skill Press in Berkeley, CA.
