Also books on alternative health like CBD oils, essential oils and others. But it all needs to be different and new and the author platform for every single one of these ideas matters. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Melinda Wenner Moyer's HOW TO RAISE KIDS WHO AREN'T ASSHOLES, a science-based guide that sifts through the conflicting advice parents get on the tough questions (What if my son is acting sort of sexist? What if my daughter makes a racially insensitive remark?) #MSWL

A real resume and cover letter book so I don't need to redo what my interns have "learned" in college. One that really shows what employees want. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Career books that teach those new to the job market what to expect aka Cynthia Shapiro's Corporate Confidential #MSWL

Literary Agent
books on negotiation, but for career negotiators, not those negotiating for a job. I'd like books on diversity like White Fragility or So You Want to Talk About Race. I want books by women for women and especially for everyone. #MSWL

Literary Agent
My submission guidelines for NF are a little vague I know. I was asked for specifics. bookendsliterary.com/submissions/ So...business books on leadership, coaching, personal development like You Are a Badass or the Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***k, #MSWL

In suspense/thriller I’m still looking for LGBTQ protagonists — maybe a series featuring a law officer or domestic suspense? #MSWL

Literary Agent
And in nonfiction I want more women & AOC in business & personal development. I also want books like So You Want to Talk About Race #MSWL

Literary Agent
Reading moods also inform my #MSWL Current mood—fun women’s fiction.

Literary Agent
I'm looking at my Goodreads to see which books I've read this year that I want more of. US AGAINST YOU, THE GREAT ALONE, THE GARDEN OF SMALL BEGINNINGS, WHEN WE LEFT CUBA, WHISPER NETWORK. #MSWL

Literary Agent
And where is the LGBTQ domestic suspense I've been asking and begging for? I still haven't received it. Still waiting. #MSWL I'm also still obsessed with Alaska & would be thrilled to see more books set there.

Literary Agent
That's it, more women's fiction with girls trips. Or, a domestic suspense featuring women's friendships (maybe a girls trip). #MSWL I also love the idea of a book featuring new and old wives/spouses.

Literary Agent
I was helping @jamerrson craft his #MSWL & realized I should post a few of my own. I'd love to see wine-related women's fiction -- set a vineyard, a girls trip, like Sideways, but featuring friendships. A birthday trip? Girls trip?

Literary Agent
We were just two people headed in the same direction & looking for a quiet train car. It happens everyday. There’s a story there. #mswl
