i also love narrative nonfiction that blends personal experience with investigative reporting or cultural criticism—Gabriela Wiener, Jenny Odell, Hanif Abdurraqib, and Rebecca Solnit are all favorites—and i'd love to see more food writing like THE WAY WE EAT NOW

Non-fiction from those with a strong platform, especially written by BIPOC creators. Can be a unique perspective regarding art, science, food, current issues, mental health, etc.

This one could be because I want tacos, but give me food #MSWL. Either a magic system based on food, or a enemies to lovers about rival taco trucks. Heck it doesn't even have to be about tacos. (I just want to eat this taco image).

Food books! All ages! Fiction or non! I've been working for Food & Wine mag for 6 years; I have a massive collection of weird old cookbooks; I am obsessed with culinary history & postwar cookery from an anthropological perspective, & I want to work on your food books.
