And, in the oddly specific: I’d really love a book about how amazing dogs are for our mental health and happiness. Could be a memoir? Could be a how to deal with the grief when we lose one of these precious friends. Had to say goodbye to my best girl this summer. Here's my gem:

Also, I want books for caregivers of cancer patients (other types of patients, too!). It’s a special role, those caregivers, and they don’t get nearly the support they need/

As someone who would rather be on a mountain than anywhere else, I’d love to see anything that takes a look at the #environment and #health and #wellness. The more memoir and thoughtful, the better. Also, the more science-y because science is GOOD./

As someone who has been a teacher for many years, I’d love to see anything at the intersection of #education and #wellness. The effect of school on our wellness and health, on kids, on ourselves, on our teachers/

We are also keen to see MG sci-fi and fantasy, and are particularly looking for UK middle grade by creators from historically excluded backgrounds.

Looking forward to reading! #mswl

Hi all! I recently added a caveat for #MSWL about what topics are *not* for me.

EATING DISORDERS OR ANIMAL DEATH– Both due to personal reasons. Of course, these books are important, and I’d be happy to suggest another editor at AMU who might be the right fit.

So excited to be back open to queries (a little late thanks to covid). Send me your mysteries, thrillers, complex families, kids on bikes (moms/older friends on bikes, too) and Midwest/prairie-set stories. Full #mswl @ nelsonagency.com

Ok so I love general market books with religious content. Think anything Dan Brown or in inspy Frank Peretti. Now merge that with a touch or smidge more of horror. Now hear me: I DO NOT want anything sacrilegious--at all. We all have our boundaries. #MSWL

#MSWL: My adult #fiction list will be smaller but think upmarket #BookClub fiction or domestic suspense--something that will keep me up at night. Really enjoyed Angie Kim's Miracle Creek. Has to feel #contemporary, braiding together issues of social import & identity.

#MSWL: #ChildrensBooks send me yr #GraphicNovel projects, from high-concept to literary, or middle grade with visual elements. Something with heart & humor. See Remy Lai's Pie in the Sky as a good comp. Also enjoyed Witches of Brooklyn & Pilau of the Woods as GN comps.
