8/ Historic tragedies and melodramatic tragic figures have always FASCINATED me. I read Anne Frank's journal cover to cover repeatedly as a child. I PORED over photographs of the Titanic. I think of Marie Antoinette's cruel and misattributed "let them eat cake" regularly.

7/ Mental illness and psychiatric disability is always an area of interest of mine, since it both affects me and I've worked in the field extensively. I often refer people to non-fiction on this topic, but another favourite is @sentencebender's DESTROY ALL MONSTERS.

6/ Related, but not the same, I am also very interested in human-animal-nonhuman relationships. This is actually what I studied in my PhD. I've read many fantastic books on the subject, but still highly recommend LOVE NOTES by @philip_mckibbin, who is now ALSO doing his PhD.

5/ Animals. I have worked with and studied animals from childhood to present, including my PhD. My favourites are bees, bears, and kΔkΔpΕs, and I am highly interested in birding in general. @KellyOhlert nailed this interest of mine in her forthcoming TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE!

3/ If your book, fiction or non-fiction, involves one of my special interests in any way, I would LOVE to see it in my submissions when I am open! So here are some of mine...4/ Books! Surprise! I love books. Sometimes, the market for books about books and bookish things can be oversaturated, but I still do love them, and I'm always interested in a fresh take. Comp: Victoria Schwab's THE ARCHIVED duology.

1/ I had a call with an editor the other day, and I asked her what she always wanted to see in her inbox. She responded, ZERO hesitation: I LOVE MANATEES! This brought me SUCH joy! I thought I would be useful do a thread of some of my special interests! #MSWL

Couldnβt have been better timing, exactly what Iβm figuring out for my own #WIPβThereβs a particular subgenre of speculative fiction that scratches an itch for me like no other. Itβs where you find yourself in a world very much like our own, except one thing is slightlyβ¦ off.β
Ohhh this unsettling vibe is 100% #MSWL for me!

I'm listening to an episode of Scamfluencers in which @KindaHagi and @Scaachi are talking about a "huge (white lady) yoga party" being a Get Out spinoff, and I would absoLUTEly read that book. #MSWL

Horror movies used to be about a freaky alien that was gross or there was a fucked up kind of guy. Now they're all about the 5 stages of grief chasing you through your 500k apartmentAre you writing the latter, because this is the horror I eat up like catnip. #MSWL

It's easily over 100Β° outside my house, in the sun, right now, mid-June. I know eco-thrillers are trendy right now, but walking outside fills me with enough dread to get by on. Where are my utopian climate future books? #MSWL
