"Memoirs focused on dysfunctional family dynamics that read like propulsive novels, such as EDUCATED, AFTERSHOCKS, and WILD GAME."

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.
#MSWL

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

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!

In fiction: speculative, magical realism, horror, romance. In NF: narrative NF, memoir, biography, immigrant stories, cultural commentary, people in history, lesser known professions and crafts (builders, designers, architects), musicians/artists/creators, daredevils, athletes.

my nonfiction #mswl : memoir, anthologies, and single narrative nonfiction about all facets of Southern culture / by writers who claim the South as home. Essay collections but need to truly sing (and be complete). Proposals and in-prog okay for longer narrative projects.

In ADULT and CHILDRENS Nonfiction:
- True Crime
- High-profile memoir
- Cookbooks
