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 · Sep 25
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 · Sep 25
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 · Sep 25
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 · Sep 24
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 · Sep 24
#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 · May 15
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.

#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
