"I'm on the hunt for a submission on misandry. I'm open to all categories and formats: essay collection, narrative nonfiction, short story collection with misandry as a common theme, memoir manifesto, etc."

"Send me history, business, politics, current affairs, memoir."

My adult #MSWL is similar to my kidlit wants! I’m very interested in non-memoir non fiction (though I’m always open to a good memoir), uplifting literary fiction, and fun genre fiction that pushes boundaries and/or offers something innovative. See previous post about what I DON’T want. Open on 6/1.

I also love graphic novels as a medium for memoirs. It's such a cool way to see inside the creator's head -- how they view themselves, how they view the world, how they fit themselves within that world.

A peek at her #MSWL !

In nonfiction #MSWL I'd really love to find an expert in a field with a strong existing platform and a big idea - pop culture, pop science, social science, women's issues, memoir, etc.

Happy #MSWL day! I’d love to see proposals for:

-Memoir that shares a compelling and unique story but also touches on a cause or broader social issue
-Holistic wellness/self-help from experts with established platforms
-Narrative nonfiction about non-traditional family and relationship structures

I also enjoy narrative nonfiction, including books that blend memoir with another genre, like memoir + true crime or memoir + a deep dive into the history of a certain phenomena. #MSWL

Mind-bending, true science embedded in a digestible narrative. Funny, Pop Culture approach (everything by Mary Roach), embedded in memoir (Hope Jaren’s “Lab Girl”) or informational fiction for older kids (“A Rover’s Story”). Sub link in profile #NarrativeNon -Fiction #MSWL

I rep high-profile nonfiction. Looking for provocative pop science, history, sports, music/pop culture, memoir. Send me the next H Is For Hawk, The British Are Coming, The Anxious Generation, The Rigor of Angels, The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, The Secret History of Vladimir Nabokov.

When it comes to non–fiction, I’m open to fresh and smart narrative nonfiction and memoir.
I’m particularly interested in everything in the areas of politics, human rights activism, anti-racism, African-American culture, gender equality and women’s empowerment, sport, music (Hip Hop, R&B) and art.

In 2025, I would love to sign my first adult non-fiction project. Top of my list is food writing/food memoir. Some recent favorites in this genre:
- CORK DORK
- NATIONAL DISH
- CRYING IN H MART
- KOSHERSOUL

Friends, it's been a long time coming, but I can FINALLY announce that my MSWL is live and I'm officially open to queries.

Sparingly open to nonfiction in picture books, from educational to memoir.

I'm open to bios; I prefer underrepresented subjects (NIKI NAKAYMA: A CHEF’S TALE IN 13 BITES by Debbi Michiko Florence).

Informative with some wit, like Mary Roach for kids!
