Little late to #MSWL today, but I'd love for some agents to send some illustrated, quirky, pop culture adult nonfiction or some lighthearted, contemporary MG & YA with some strong nerd culture flavor! (I've been itching for some cosplay/comic con/food competition stories.)

I'd love to see a contemporary MG or YA cooking competition like Iron Chef or even something with a little more quirk like Food Wars. #mswl

My kid is tired of middle grade & YA books with thinly-veiled lessons & teachable moments. They feel condescending to her. She wants a good story with interesting, complex characters. She wants authors to give kids more credit; they can handle more nuance & subtlety.100% adding this to my #MSWL. Please give me more stories like these.

As I slowly begin to acquire my own books (gasp, like a real editor!) I wanted to do my first #mswl! I'm looking for quirky, fun pop culture focused non fiction. Give me a new take on Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy, Spectacular Sisterhood of Superwomen, Alien Next Door, etc.!
