The thing that makes me immediately latch onto and empathize with almost any character?Anger.
Not just a flash of it. I want the deep-seated rage that burns after trauma. The rage that fuses to your bones and becomes an integral piece of you.
Give me more anger.

I want stories about surviving trauma. About healing and growing beyond it and thriving after trauma.
I want to see the rage, the grief, the shame, each and every ugly shard--but then watch them grow stronger because of it.

Just finished watching #AlwaysBeMyMaybe on Netflix and I just need to say:

#mswl - books that emphasize the bridge between science and the arts; I went through a phase years ago where I read a lot of books on the history of math; NF pbs that are written using a super engaging hook or concept

#mswl - amazing stories about what human, animal or plant bodies can do (e.g. more like on a cellular/biology level, not biographies); NF books about scientific discoveries made by LGBTQIA+, BIPOC or neurodiverse people; a how-to book for teens about divestment and eco-activism;

Tracy WANTS A NAP Marchini @TracyMarchini
...here's the not fully formed part - how to write and concept it so that it's super engaging to a trade picture book or middle grade audience. (That's where you come in, writers!)some other science-related #mswl's (ugh, forgive the grocer's apostrophe). Space, astronomy, astrophysics. A book about how going to the moon now would be different than it was when the US went in 1969 (technology changes, etc.) for kids or teens.

#mswl - I would love to see a trade NF book exploring antarctica and climate change. (This idea is not fully formed, so bear with me...) So like, why protecting antarctica is important, who "owns" antarctica, what is actually physically present (animals, research stations, etc)..

Would love a thriller written by a POC or featuring POC characters #MSWL

Bria Sandford @blsandford
Pride and Prejudice, except the Bennets are trying to marry off their large adult sonsBria! This sounds excellent. I'm going to put this on my #MSWL. If someone wants to write this novel, I'll take it, and then Bria will have to figure out how to persuade Penguin Random House to acquire it on her non-fiction list. 🤨

If you've been waiting on a response from me, thanks for your patience! I'm rolling myself back into the query pile this weekend, and seriously hungry for new stuff. #MSWL
