“My favorite nonfiction titles are story-based. Think case studies that read like compelling tales. Just because a book explores serious themes doesn’t mean it shouldn’t also hook the reader from page one!” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Deep dives into mental health topics, like Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me by Anna Mehler Paperny and Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Romance, Literary, Commercial, Suspense, Young Adult, Middle Grade, and Picture Books." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I love spooky picture books! If your picture book has ghosts, haunted houses, or cobwebs, send it my way.” @adriamgoetz #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’d really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don’t want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don’t want answers to.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book—you name it, I'm here for it. Spook me!” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Remember the trend of adult couple resort romcom movies? Share with me your diverse thriller/suspense equivalents.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Nonfiction on the history of tutelary colonialism and its effects on the present-day immigration crises and policies.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Picture Books: illustrated stories with literary sensibilities, nonfiction topics (not biographies), cultural traditions/folklore/history.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Non-fic like Jim Collins GOOD TO GREAT, Susan Cain's QUIET & Charles Duhigg's THE POWER OF HABIT.” @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I love a unique atmosphere/strong sense of place in books across the board, whether that be picture books, middle grade or adult fiction.” @adriamgoetz #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Fiction in the motherhood space with ANOTHER big layer (i.e. capitalism, race, health, disability etc)” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Select horror—I’m more interested in psychological elements, but I don’t mind a bit of gore. Anything disturbing or unnerving is up my alley. Novels + collections welcome!” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’d love to see more YA or MG illustrated nonfiction or graphic novels about women’s rights, reproductive health, and adjacent topics (pop culture included).” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Psychology is perhaps my favorite field in nonfiction. I’d love to read stories about therapists and their patients in the vein of MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by Lori Gottlieb and GOOD MORNING, MONSTER by Catherine Gildiner.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Narrative nonfiction about (pop) culture history, science, and nature topics.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I love picture books about family traditions/cultural traditions, especially when there is food, cooking, baking, or recipes involved.” @adriamgoetz #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
