#MSWL this gonna be weird but is anyone working on a narrative NF book about poisons that weren't used for poisons? Like the poison dresses?
I have a weird fascination those time of things. #mg #ya only

#mswl for my nonfiction writing friends:*I'm currently devouring Patrick Radden Keefe's SAY NOTHING & would love to find a book in this vein. History or history / true crime that reads like a thriller.
*PopScience that takes a deep dive into a subject. Think SPYING ON WHALES.
The YA version for me please #MSWL

I have always loved the Salem Witch Trials. but I was watching a show recently on Smithsonian channel that talked about what was happening in England at the same time. FASCINATING. Give us tangential history to the well trodden paths. #MSWL

Not gonna lie: that poison dress book sounds really cool, now that I have said it. So I am going to say it: a narrative NF about poison and the non-poison uses in history. #MSWL

Hello my nonfiction writing friends! I have a TON of #mswl tweets for you this morning, so buckle up.I'm gonna plug @wensday95's #MSWL here because basically her adult taste is what sounds so cool to me in kids: twitter.com/wensday95/stat…
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 25 Sep 2019
I think a book that also talks about tough subjects would be cool. Like racial issues, a death manual (as in like how to talk about it, etc), financial planning. And why it is important TO talk about these things. There is so much that isn't talk about until BOOM! adult. #MSWL
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 25 Sep 2019
I want a narrative nonfiction on history. Or even facts. Like @alexandraovery keeps telling me about the dresses dyed with poison. That's just cool. #MSWL

Okay let's chat YA NF #MSWL! pic.twitter.com/5XQpIMMLK0So everyone knows I am looking for a YA true crime. What does this look like? IDK. But I wants it. #MSWL
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 25 Sep 2019
After lunch, I am going to do a #MSWL for YA Non-fiction. Because I am ready to start seeing more in that arena.
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 24 Sep 2019
I love the show UNWRAPPED. I would totally be down for a NF like that. #MSWL

My number 1 #MSWL wish is for general nonfiction that teaches while it entertains. Have an obsession? Teach me about something I don't know!Common winners: Creepy history, unsolved mysteries, common science topics with a twist (Space + X; STEM + X), folklore
Hello. I didn't even realize I need this. #MSWL
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 24 Sep 2019
#MSWL for PBs here: narrative non-fiction, that is NOT biographies. Think SKULLS by Blair Thornburgh, or PEOPLE DON'T BITE PEOPLE by Lisa Wheeler. Give me interesting perspectives and facts and knowledge!

#MSWL I am not sure if kids would even care, but I oddly want a Spice Girls NF PB biography. I feel like their music really did empower a generation of ladies.
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 15 May 2019
I wonder if there is a way to do a YA Nonfiction True Crime book. #MSWL Not sure what it would look like but it would be interesting. This is different than my fiction request for murder mysteries.
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 15 Dec 2018
#MSWL This is the kind of nonfiction ideas for picture books I am intrigued by: washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/…

A reminder that Julia Child was an intelligence officer for the CIA during WWII. Oh, hey, also a reminder that I would very much like a novel about this. #mswlcia.gov/news-informati…

Something #TeamNat shares, regardless of their chose form, is a willingness to work, be pushed beyond their comfort zones, to experiment, to play, and to remember that we aren't doing easy things, but that is why we are gonna be legendary. (subtle reference to team song 🤓)And if you have made it this far in my fan girling, you might have noticed that the genres I DON'T HAVE. Which is why I am looking for:
-Graphic Novels
-Nonfiction
-Historical Fiction
-Magical Realism
In addition to my fantasy and contemporary list. #MSWL
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 17 Aug 2018
With MG Narrative Non-fiction, I am looking for biographies. Tell me the true story of someone whose story needs to be told. #MSWL
