I’m YA: I would love to see stories from BIPOC creators that explores culture through things like music or food or art. The way those things can connect us to culture and also cross cultural barriers is a relatable way to explore identity, especially in the YA space. #mswl

The second season of #TasteTheNation is out, and this is just to say… #MSWL!! Any nonfiction that celebrates culture through food like this is for me 🍽

A quick #MSWL for picture books:
I always, always love the intersection of family and food - keep me in mind for these!
But I have some specific desires right now in PBs, related to my own disability experience in myself and my family.

today's Stained Page News reminded me how much I love unexpected crossovers (like coding and cooking!), so #MSWL for nonfiction crossovers b/w subjects (esp, food and the environment!)

Something that will forever and always be on my #MSWL is "food books" because I'm still chasing the dopamine rush I got every time I read BUNNY CAKES as a kid and saw the cakes Ruby and Max made. 😋🎂✨

A reminder that I work on cookbooks and I love them!

I love food. I love celebrating it. I love eating it. I love talking about it. All food is good food.

These are most of my cookbooks that I’ve worked on over the last ~8 years.

Pitch me platform driven food books! #mswl

1. Food-centric fic & nonfic. I would love to see narrative nonfic deep dives into culinary history & people whose stories haven't been told. Essay collections about food intersecting with culture, politics, social justice. & in fic, MG, YA, & adult fic where food plays a role.

Would love to get more book pitches from women of colour in the food/cooking space! #mswl

#MSWL narrative food writing that dives deep into the history, culture, and emotion of its subject, similar to #HighOnTheHog which I absolutely loved, LOVED.

#MSWL any book exploring the relationship of food and climate

I recently reread ALMA AND HOW SHE GOT HER NAME and it’s truly one of my all time favorites. I’d love to see more projects in my inbox exploring the things—names, food, places—that connect us with the generations before us. PB (author-illustrator only), MG/YA novel, GN. #mswl
