“Platform-driven non fiction with unique hooks (platform meaning: social media/YouTube followers, TV appearances, email newsletter numbers etc).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'd love something exploring ability/disability. Definitely #OWNVOICES. Non-fiction or fiction but my taste skews more commercial, not literary #mswl

I would love unique cookbook concepts by Black and Indigenous bloggers as well as non-fiction by BIPOC food writers #mswl

Non-fiction about social/urban geography & how we move through our world. City planning etc leading to inequity and reinforcing racism through planning. Ideally with a feminist lens like INVISIBLE WOMEN. #mswl

Non-fiction about the sobriety movement from an expert or journalist. #mswl

I receive almost no cookbooks/food-related nonfiction, & I'd love to see more of those, too. #MSWL

I'd also love to see more upmarket fiction, women's fiction, & YA horror. I'm surprised how little of the query pie these genres take up. Please send me more of them. #MSWL

i wrote this in an introduction to my ~taste~ that i put together for our ed director & realised i never said it in public so:

i would really really really really love to work on a picture book biography or MG NF graphic novel about grace lee boggs #mswl

In speculative fiction, I'm looking more for folklore, magical realism, surrealism, cozy fantasy, light fantasy, and atmospheric fantasy with lush world building and gorgeous prose, than traditional high/ epic fantasy. #MSWL

#MSWL in all the contemporary YA (or MG) I read, I like to see boys being feminists and practicing healthy relationships and consent. ALWAYS queer-positive. I'd also love to see a #nonfiction proposal talking directly to boys about feminism and consent.

✨ Positive, playful LGBTQA+ rom-coms

“I am on the hunt for non-fiction in MG. Show me glimpses of history that haven’t been taught to younger students before, collections of pieces, anthologies.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“In non-fiction, I want to see more:

HOW-TO's for digital work-from-home nomads

Edgy well-being women’s health and reproduction topics

Societal analysis with bold hooks.”
