*submissions alert* We are looking for brilliant, engaging non-fiction!
I am particularly interested in nature and climate writing, food, drink and travel, and deep-dives into weird and wonderful subjects.

If you write about food and life, do it with the passion and beauty of Ruth Reichel, or Molly Wizenberg. #MSWL

Show me a foodie character--kitchen/chef setting not necessary! Someone who shows love through the food they make for others, however that may work for your story. #MSWLI'd also love something like this. I really love food, I love cooking, and I love characters who do, too. #MSWL

I'm not normally a "foodie" reader but I would read the crap out of an enemies to lovers romance about rival restaurant owners, one who serves CaliMex (THE BEST) and one who serves TexMex. As long as CaliMex wins, obviously #MSWL twitter.com/ElleKeck/statu…OMG. I LOVE this idea. I edited @elisalorello's PASTA WARS a few years back and adored working on a foodie book. As a Top Chef-fanatic and homesick Texan, I fully support this idea. But the TexMex chef wins. 😉 #MSWL

Other random elements I love: historical fiction, witches (historical and contemporary, but less on the humorous side), boarding schools, food, slow build romance, whimsy, retellings...#MSWL
Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks · 24 Sep 2019
I also work in non-fiction, handling cookbooks, memoir, pop-history, and more!
If you've got a platform and a story to tell or gorgeous food photography (or both!), I want to chat. #MSWL
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · 24 Sep 2019
I thought of another: A culinary history/food memoir. Think: The Cooking Gene (a look at people and culture) or Salt (how a food shaped history). Any topic goes. #MSWL

I really, really want a book featuring a baking contest. Like kids’ baking championship on Food Network, but for MG or YA! #mswl
Ariana Philips @ArianaPhilips · 24 Sep 2019
#MSWL Smart and sexy rom-coms (I want to laugh and fall in love!), epic family dramas, gritty and contemporary YA, true crime that reads like a suspense novel, anything food related (f and nf), pop science and history

On a whim I decided to watch this movie on Netflix called Ramen Shop and it's an amazing story about culture, family, love, and (of course) food.
Now I'd like a YA or MG story that explores the bonds of family and culture (especially a blended one) through food! #mswl
Brit Brooks-Perilli @Britny_Perilli · 8 Sep 2019
Is anyone else into the show Let's Eat because I'd really love a #ownvoices #DV, contemporary #YA book with the same kind of style about a MC who just lives for food. Also if it could include some mouth-watering descriptions I would appreciate it. Cool thanks! #mswl
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · 29 Aug 2019
-I work for Food & Wine magazine, I love food, & I love culinary history & cookbooks—the older & weirder, the better. I would love to see some culinary history subs in my query box.

Evergreen #mswl: Books about food and drink. Fiction. Nonfiction. All of 'em. Please.

It's my favorite tweet of the month. Here's August's visual #mswl. Do you have a book like one of these you're ready to query? Send it! pic.twitter.com/6Celp4ZIPbI spy OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA on @wensday95's #mswl for adults, and while I'm currently closed to queries, I want to throw out there for the future that I would LOVE to see something like that for the #mg/#ya audience when I reopen. Also something on food justice for teens.

RE: the book on research about food allergies: I want to find books like this, so if you're an academic or an expert, EMAIL ME TOO. 😁 Working on 3-12 or so projects that would qualify, + would love more. Research research research, #ftw. #MSWL
