For memoir, LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS by T. Kira Madden blew me away, and two all-time favorites are EDUCATED by @tarawestover and WILD GAME by @adriennebrodeur

"A good memoir reads like a novel—if that’s your story please query me! Both longform narratives and essay collections welcome." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Catherine Cho’s memoir about her time with postpartum psychosis is achingly beautiful. It delves into the intricacies of motherhood and mental health and deals beautifully and empathetically with an incredibly difficult topic. Please send me books like this! #MSWL

“I’m looking for all kinds of non-fiction, especially cookbooks, memoirs, essay collections, wellness, and pop-culture history books.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

On the same wavelength--give me a narrative that ties food with memoir. Or! A novel! That ties food! With story! More like Mistress of Spices, The Particular Sadness... Pardon the pun, but I'm ravenous #MSWL

This is a gorgeous gutting memoir about a woman’s fight for her daughter with cystic fibrosis. It’s moving and emotional and this is all I want in a memoir! #MSWL

I also adore memoirs — please see my fiction guidelines for these stories because (a) I’m drawn to the same themes in novels as I am in memoirs; and (b) a good memoir reads like a novel.

A few things that are on my mind today for #MSWL. I'd love a YA adaptation of Empire Records. Maaaaybe set in an indie bookstore instead of a record store? I would also love a "happy" memoir. Not sure what that would look like... but eager to hear what y'all have for me! :)

DIY, memoir, etc. Across STEM, the arts, history, sports—the whole NF gamut! Or (2) If you have experience as an MG or YA nonfiction writer, send me sample writing and a list of subject areas that interest you. If you don’t have experience but have high interest, I ask that u...

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Early morning #MSWL tweets, as the toddler has been up since 6.

YA that celebrates neurodiversity, from writers who are (can’t stress that enough) neurodivergent.

Fiction and memoir from (stressing again) adoptees, on the adoptee experience.

A lovely and moving memoir about husband and wife walking the difficult South West coast path (in the UK) after becoming homeless and finding out the husband has a terminal illness. A gripping look into illness, homelessness, grief, and the beauty and brutality of nature. #MSWL

Honestly, this is a devastating read, about the death of Jayson’s young daughter. It’s an astonishing memoir about grief and hope and what it is to live after a great loss. Highly recommend if you can handle the subject matter. #MSWL

Hey here’s a #mswl: I would love to see pitches from BIPOC authors who live with adult ADHD, memoir or prescriptive. There are a lot of different possible books here obvi.

Reading this was like reading a hurricane. The best memoir on mental health I’ve ever read. PLEASE send me more! #MSWL
