You know how Gwenyth Paltrow hired a book curator for her home? (If you didn't, now you do.) Well, I want nonfiction books a curator would pick out for Busy Philipps. #MSWL

Literary Agent
My #MSWL includes nonfiction for kids and teen readers, too!

Speaking of learning (I'm a Virgo, leave me alone), I love working on nonfiction books. It's difficult to list specific topics because I don't know what I don't know! Teach me something cool. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I'm also hoping to see more graphic memoirs and graphic nonfiction. Such a fantastic way to learn about people and things. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Putting it out into the twitter universe that I am looking for more clients creating beautifully illustrated books! Graphic novels, graphic memoirs, graphic nonfiction—anything and everything you're working on, for any age group. #MSWL

I really, really want illustrated nonfiction. Ex: WHAT WE SEE IN THE STARS, LITERARY WITCHES. Or maybe something prescriptive and workbook-ish like THE CURATED CLOSET. #MSWL

I updated the manuscript wish list on my website recently, so I want to tweet some of the new things I'm looking for now that the query inbox is open again. (Feel free to mute for a few minutes if I'm driving you crazy.)For nonfiction, I want to see more books on the intersection of feminism and (pop) culture as well as smart essay collections. #MSWL

Overall, for YA, I'm looking for something ~FUN~. Not issue-driven. High concept. #MSWLNonfiction (for adult or children): geeky things, pop culture obsessions, science, history of a thing, lifestyle for millennials. #MSWL

Let's start with nonfiction. I love nonfic. Especially if it's geeky or feministy. (I'm making up words & I don't even care.) #MSWLI want nonfic that looks at the history of a geek/pop culture topic. #MSWL
