All right, #amquerying writers—let’s talk FAVE RECENT READS because what better way is there for you to get to know my taste? Are one of these titles a comp for your story? Is your writing style similar to one of these authors? If so, please query me! 🙋🏽♀️ #WritingCommunityFor nonfiction I adored HOOD FEMINISM by @Karnythia — in fact, I often quote her when offending misogynists (one of my fave activities 😇). Send me your feminist nonfiction, especially if they examine race, sexual orientation, and class! Let’s offend misogynists together! 😈

My doctor just told me about the 12th century physicians of Salerno: the usual Greek/Latin men plus Jews, Muslims, and women! They pooled their knowledge and practiced science-based medicine. BUT then they disappeared. Gotta be a story there. #mswl #historicalfiction or #NF

"I loved THE DREAMERS by Karen Thompson Walker. Send me more spec fiction, even better if it has an environmental angle. Adult, YA, and graphic novels welcome!” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Whoa.
Blue-green brilliance.
Who knew?
No one.

If someone is writing a nonfiction science narrative that incorporates glowing squirrels and platypuses, I'm here for that. #mswl #Anich #glowinganimals

I made up a #MSWL! The main problem is that there are honestly more things that I DO want to see books made of than not, but hopefully someone finds this helpful✨

I really want some relatable women’s fiction about millennials finding their way in the world, taking the wrong paths and learning as they go. I want to see relationships tested —familial, friendships, romantic etc.

And last on the list, we are on the hunt for some lightly speculative novels. Think BLACK MIRROR in book form – something that shows us our world, but with a twist.

I would watch a show that was based on true stories of cops fabricating evidence and sending people to jail.This isn’t a joke tweet.
I think it would gain an enormous audience, both hating & loving it.
More importantly it would serve a public good.
#MSWL This as a book, fiction or non-fiction
