Social justice: Books that give practical advice on how to deal with the unfortunate fact that we live in an unfair and unjust world #MSWL

Inspiration/motivation: Illustrated gift books, whether interactive or otherwise, from artists/authors with big platforms on Instagram and/or TikTok offering advice in an unconventional way #MSWL

Platform/experience-led self-improvement: Books by people who have been through something and are offering advice based on experience, geared toward Millennials and Gen Z who are perhaps skeptical or tired of being “talked down to” by credentialed experts #MSWL

Some professional news! Here's an updated #MSWL to celebrate. 🧵

I acquired two books this week! I'd love to keep this roll rolling. Agents--keep sending me your Gen-Z and Millennial self-improvement. Let's do this! #MSWL

Hey nonfiction agents! I'm hungry for more projects. Looking for self-help, inspiration/motivation, social justice, creativity, platform-driven humor, and more. To see what I've been up to, click here: pinterest.com/beckerlj/books-ive-edited/

My year in books: 2023 ❤️

#mswl

Books that make you see the world differently. Books that help you see a problem, learn how you’ve been affected by it, and teach you how to change it. #MSWL

Books that help your mind and soul. Pop psych, productivity, anxiety, self-care. #MSWL

Illustrated books. I’d say about 60% of my list is illustrated. Some of them are meant to be written/drawn in, some have art sprinkled throughout—but all of them help you connect with yourself in creative ways. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I’m in the market for smart, fun, engaging self-improvement. Agents—you can find my full listing here, but here are a few highlights. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…

Is the time right for an apocalypse journal? Could be! #MSWL

#MSWL Today I'm wishing for books that will give people the tools to make a difference in our crazy bananas world. Books about living green, books about social change, social justice, activism. #nonfiction #millennials

I'd love to see a book that juices up otherwise "boring" topics with workbook-style prompts or art. Personal finance maybe? #MSWL
