And, I am very much still actively building my adult nonfiction list! Looking for books with platform backed by experience/professionals in self help, business (women in business!), parenting, psychology, pop science, and mind/body/spirit

Looking for stories of joy where identity isn't the focus; rich, atmospheric writing w/ culture & magic; rom coms; novels w/ incredible hooks that can be pitched in one sentence; highly engaging reads w/ an unforgettable voice or unforgettable plot (ideally both!) #mswl

I'm prioritizing projects by and about BIPOC and underrepresented voices. Within that, particularly interested in projects with intersectionality, trans and disability rep, and ANYTHING by Native, First Nations and Indigenous authors. #mswl

HUNGRY for YA, MG & adult nonfiction. #mswl pop culture, feminist issues, true crime, pop science, parenting, business from a WOMAN'S POV, relationship/dating, things no one talks about but we SHOULD, fresh & unique & a little weird & dark (DARK TOURIST, LORE, My Favorite Murder)
