Writers and authors! #Query me (info in bio) and check out my #MSWL manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/hale…

“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

My #MSWL for nonfiction includes self-help/health/wellness, pop psychology & pop science, narrative nonfiction, and select memoir. For fiction, it's historical fiction, commercial fiction, thriller + psych suspense + crime fiction. Open to queries + can't wait to hear from you!

“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/

“With memoir, I love a story that feels like I’m reading a collection of essays. @JamesTateHill's BLIND MAN'S BLUFF and @m_scribe's WHAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT, an anthology of essays are two books I worked on that fit in that space.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Honestly, I wish I could be an agent for every author in the world. Keep flooding my inbox and I’ll keep reading as much as I can.

I’m still looking for anything horror. Like seriously scare me. WAY MORE LGBTQ from romance to memoir to coming out. And running!
#mswl #amquerying

AFTERSHOCKS by @NadiaOwusu1 is officially my favorite memoir ever— #amquerying writers this is the perfect example of how to share stories with specificity, vulnerability, and, of course, beautiful writing. And I love the world history woven into the protagonist's journey. #MSWL

Finishing Home Baked by Alia Volz makes me hungry (no pun intended) for more memoirs of remarkable people, extraordinary lives and eccentric stories. Especially from diverse backgrounds. #mswl

(Memoir continued) I love books with humor and interesting perspectives, and enjoy a big personality or narration to go with the contents of the memoir. I do not want conservative or conservative leaning memoirs. #mswl

For Queer Memoirs, I am particularly interested in memoirs from queer authors about their queerness and the intersections of their identity.... #mswl

“Joyful novels and powerful memoirs about the adoptee experience, written by adoptees. I can’t stress that enough.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I read All You Can Ever Know in one long afternoon and like everyone else, I adored it. It's a wonderful memoir about adoption and race and family and should be required reading for everyone. #MSWL more memoirs like this!

“Graphic Novels: contemporary young adult, graphic memoirs, graphic nonfiction.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

*TITLE UPDATE*

#promoted to Assistant Editor @VikingBooks and open to submissions—send me your lyrical novels that dip into fantasy and magical realism and myth; your haunting, REBECCA-esque sublime suspense; & any ANY memoir/narrative related to FOOD. More #mswl tk.

In Non-Fiction, I’m always on the lookout for good narrative writing and memoir on the issues we’re facing in the world today. I also have particular interest in people writing about film, music and popular culture.

When it comes to big specific #MSWL items:

🥰 Stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are neurodivergent.

💕 Joyful novels and powerful memoirs about the adoptee experience, written by adoptees.

✨ Genre blending romance and rom-coms. ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Starting in January I will be accepting nonfiction queries in addition to YA. Send me your memoirs, pop culture, food, lifestyle, true crime, narrative, or any combo of the above! #MSWL #Nonfiction #WritingCommunity

In adult nonfiction, I'm still looking for untold histories, memoirs with a big hook especially if they are extreme sports or adventure stories, pop science,  cookbooks, & culinary histories. Again, send me your weirds.

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
