Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

"Looking for nonfiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS."

"I am dreaming of nature nonfiction and nature-laced memoirs that are rooted in the land, that give me hope, but don’t shy away from why we need that hope. Nature-driven books that marry science with storytelling."
Marina Green #MSWL

"In nonfiction, I'm looking for anything witchy! Send me proposals on the occult, astrology, and tarot."

"I'm looking for nonfiction exploring mental health topics, like HELLO I WANT TO DIE PLEASE FIX ME by Anna Mehler Paperny and REASONS TO STAY ALIVE by Matt Haig."

Carly Watters #MSWL

Would love to see death positive NF, big idea books with a ‘speculative’ bent to them, under explored histories, and all things astrology/tarot!! #mswl

"Send me books about surfing! Romance, fantasy, non-fiction—I’d love to see them all!"
Marina Green #MSWL

I’d love to see more nonfiction queries🤍 I’m especially drawn to the Body, Mind & Spirit space (witchcraft, occult, tarot and oracle decks, astrology, mindfulness, etc.), lifestyle, pop culture, self-help, and cozy, whimsical books that blend worlds.

"Nonfiction I loved (from the past year or two): VULTURE CAPITALISM, STOLEN FOCUS, WINTERING, PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY, HOW TO RAISE A FEMINIST SON, POVERTY BY AMERICA, FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS, HOW TO DO NOTHING."
Carly Watters #MSWL

Still looking for great space non-fiction for all ages, but particularly middle grade. NASA history is one of my adult obsessions and with Artemis launching next year, I want to inspire the next gen of astronauts and flight controllers. #mswl

"I want nonfiction that explores niche topics with wide appeal."
