my nonfiction #mswl : memoir, anthologies, and single narrative nonfiction about all facets of Southern culture / by writers who claim the South as home. Essay collections but need to truly sing (and be complete). Proposals and in-prog okay for longer narrative projects.

You have a few more days to submit to @HubCityPress 's nonfiction reading period! Good reasons to:
1) we love unagented work!
2) we still need a southern literary nonfiction title for 2026
3) we have good taste (imo) and love braided / lyric narratives

Agents! I'm in the mood for an epic, can't-live-without-you, every-moment-we're-apart-is-agony, be-still-my-beating-heart romance, ideally in a fantasy world. I want tension, I want tears, I want to ache with longing. #MSWL

Hey Writers! @FeministPress just opened for direct (aka unagented) submissions, so if you've got an amazing queer or trans story, an activist handbook, a gorgeous intersectional memoir, or another manuscript that expands the feminist conversation, send it our way! twitter.com/FeministPress/…I especially want to read speculative fiction by queer, trans, disabled, & neurodivergent writers, stories of found family, & leftist / feminist critiques of money & economic systems written in accessible language. @FeministPress

We're changing up our open query period a bit! (We're shortening it). As I've said before, we receive hundreds and hundreds of queries each time we open but only realistically have 2 or 3 spots to fill.Read more about the changes below! Dms are open for questions, etc 🪐 twitter.com/HubCityPress/s…

Here is my one and only #MSWL. I need a manuscript about MEDIA LITERACY. Picture book, middle grade, YA-- fiction or non-fiction. Give me a book to start the conversation about media literacy and I will give that book my undivided attention. (and you'll help save democracy)

LRT: The tragedy I want queers in the books I rep to suffer are the lovely “my parents/sibling/BFF/ex was murdered and arranged like the town’s scary nursery rhyme” rather than, you know, homophobic shit. Same with racism and other fucked shit. I’d like it threaded, not centered.*adds this to my #mswl pile*

told someone this am that any literary near-future novel set in a climate change ravaged South gets immediate interest from me

If you have a project with a stand out hook that doesn't necessarily fit any of the above boxes, do still send it my way. I can never resist a book with a stunning one line pitch #MSWL

And the news is out! Very excited to be joining the team at @canelo_co as a commissioning editor and can't wait to publish some stand out commercial fiction! twitter.com/thebookseller/…Particularly on the hunt for gripping psychological fiction that will leave me thinking about the characters long after I turn the final page. Am also on the hunt for some book club reads and suspenseful women's fiction. #MSWL
