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
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 24 Sep 2019
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

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

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

Nonfiction that merges pop culture, history, & feminism — like my client @sammaggs’ books: THE FANGIRL’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, WONDER WOMEN, & GIRL SQUADS. #MSWL
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 12 Sep 2018
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
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 8 Jan 2018
Topics on my picture book wish list: the Wheel of the Year; cultural traditions/history; tales of mythology and lore; nature-based nonfiction; and ghosts. #MSWL
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 8 Jan 2018
I also love illustrated nonfiction! Any category, really. Have a fun/creative/cool/smart idea? Send me a proposal! #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

I am very selectively looking at picture books. Must be illustrated. Would love to see more nonfiction topics! #MSWL
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 8 Feb 2017
I’m also looking for nonfiction for kids! Both YA and MG. Any topic goes—surprise me! #MSWL
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 8 Feb 2017
I’m searching for exciting nonfiction in the following categories: pop culture, science, design, and lifestyle. #MSWL

Maria, Maria 🎶 @msmariavicente
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
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 30 Jun 2016
And my last nonfic #MSWL item: vegan cooking. Something with an unusual theme. Nothing boring!
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 30 Jun 2016
I really want to see your nonfic book proposal about witchcraft/magic/tarot/crystals/astrology/etc. #MSWL
maria vicente @msmariavicente · 30 Jun 2016
I would love to see more nonfic for children! Either the middle grade or young adult crowd. #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
