I'm a huge foodie - so I'd love a unique cookbook, foodie memoir, or exploration into the origins of a cuisine. "Hungry" for these! #MSWL #Cookbook #nonfiction #memoir

I’d love a memoir from a queer person from a red state. What’s it like to build community and your identity in that environment? #mswl

MEMOIR: I'm interested in memoirs that have a really interesting hook like Rachael Hanel's WE'LL BE THE LAST ONES TO LET YOU DOWN. Sarah Smarsh's HEARTLAND bowled me over with its writing, and I'm looking forward to reading Casey Gerald's THERE WILL BE NO MIRACLES HERE. #mswl

And in non-fiction, I'm looking for cookbooks, essay collections, and memoir.

@nicole_soojung's memoir wasn't just my favorite memoir last year, it was one of my favorite books period.

@readandbreathe's upcoming book is a great example of "something I wish I worked on."

Agent friends, my #mswl is overflowing! Please think of me in 2019 for exciting new:
-memoirs that bring to mind a YA Educated—delving deep into an author’s journey through and/or out of an insular community
-illustrated or graphic novel middle grade nonfiction or memoir (1/3)

It's the holiday season, so I'll put a #MSWL out into the world: I'd love to have a new #DearGenius out in the market BUT written by one of our great editors of color. A memoir, a how-to, a narrative guide to succeeding in this business from a POV beyond the white center. (1/2)
