Her editors had no interest in sending her to the front lines. So WWII journalist Virginia Irwin joined the Red Cross and went anyways: smithsonianmag.com/history/virgin… via @SmithsonianMagSomeone PLEASE write about Virginia Irwin and then query me. It's a story that would work in both fiction and nonfiction. #MSWL

How women drove the Civil Rights Movement - one carrot soufflé and one shrimp salad at a time... twitter.com/potlikker/stat…Further to my earlier #mswl posts, the Gravy podcast is one of my very, very favorites. If you're writing a narrative nonfiction book in this vein, I'd love to see it. #amwriting #amquerying

In narrative nonfiction, I'd love to see more food-centered books, especially those exploring forgotten aspects of our food history or that look at the intersections of race, feminism, and food. Think THE COOKING GENE or WHAT SHE ATE.
