And while I'm sure I'll add to this list, if you've got anything geeky, fun, and full of twists on the fiction side, or prescriptive on the nonfiction side, I definitely want to see it! :) #MSWL

NF: Practical mysticism and astrology projects that offer new takes on everyday experiences (think lifestyle books). #MSWL
Literary Agent
NF: Pop culture nostaglia. Projects that take pop culture and apply it to a new form. For example, ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK RUM?馃嵏#MSWL
Literary Agent
NF: Craft/Hobby & Lifestyle. Projects that can teach readers how to affordably alter their lifestyle for the better. I'm particularly interested in homesteading, foraging, and other sustainability projects. #MSWL
Literary Agent
NF: Fresh and modern takes on relationship/dating projects. The key for me here is to approach the work with a lens that does not treat the cis-het relationship as the default/baseline/or norm. #MSWL

I know #DayOfTheGirl was yesterday, but I can't resist sharing one of my favorite empowering YA reads geared toward girls.Who else has book recs? (Bonus if they're nonfiction!) pic.twitter.com/599wS7KG4e
Also going to add that this brand of YA nonfiction is an absolute #mswl for me. The business angle, the creativity, the list vibes, etc.

#MSWL Fandom books and other illustrated, geeky/pop culture non-fiction for YA and MG (maybe even PB?) readers.

Rounding off my #MSWL tweets today, in NF I鈥檓 looking for the following topical themes:
-eco-friendly lifestyle
-cultural criticism (e.g. gender, race, sexuality)
-YA books about the +/- effects of the beauty industry
-parenting, reproductive health, physical wellness
Literary Agent
#MSWL I would love to read more YA non-fiction graphic novels that:
-showcase proactive groups of people (think GIRLS WHO RUN THE WORLD)
-deal with serious topics (reproductive rights, loss, mental illness, etc.) in a positive way (can be fiction too)
-are inspiring memoirs

Illustrated/graphic novel style non-fiction is something that I really want to see more of in my inbox!Cookbooks and food are great, but I would love to see author/illustrator teams work on other topics as well like film, books, nature, science, pop culture, etc. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/tFCywHcKIF
This #MSWL is a big ask for me as well! You don't see enough of these.

#MSWL an accessible infographic-rich or GN NF about women's rights and health. Could be international.

#BellLetsTalk is a great way to generate awareness. My #MSWL includes diverse representation of mental health issues both in fiction and non-fiction. Send me those queries. Let's end the stigma in as many ways as possible! 馃檪
