I’m not closing to queries, but I am more behind than I’d like. Come January I’ll post my #MSWL mostly in mystery, suspense, upmarket, women’s & literary fiction. I also want select nonfiction.

I’m on the hunt for great business books with an original angle that both educate and entertain. Think NO FILTER by @sarahfrier and INVISIBLE WOMEN by @CCriadoPerez . Demonstrable expertise/experience is a must when querying for nonfiction.

All right, #amquerying writers—let’s talk FAVE RECENT READS because what better way is there for you to get to know my taste? Are one of these titles a comp for your story? Is your writing style similar to one of these authors? If so, please query me! 🙋🏽♀️ #WritingCommunityFor nonfiction I adored HOOD FEMINISM by @Karnythia — in fact, I often quote her when offending misogynists (one of my fave activities 😇). Send me your feminist nonfiction, especially if they examine race, sexual orientation, and class! Let’s offend misogynists together! 😈

I'd love to see more nonfiction in my query inbox; "my favorite nonfiction books expand my view of the world; provide an unconventional perspective on a conventional topic; are rigorously reported and researched; weave in personal interest; read like a novel." #MSWL

I need more serious, deeply researched and intimate nature writing in my life! Could be nonfiction like the hidden life of trees or fiction like bearskin #mswl

My doctor just told me about the 12th century physicians of Salerno: the usual Greek/Latin men plus Jews, Muslims, and women! They pooled their knowledge and practiced science-based medicine. BUT then they disappeared. Gotta be a story there. #mswl #historicalfiction or #NF

She discovered that flying squirrels turn pink under UV light.Paula Anich was checking squirrel hides when she thought, hmm, what about this platypus over here?
Whoa.
Blue-green brilliance.
Who knew?
No one.

If someone is writing a nonfiction science narrative that incorporates glowing squirrels and platypuses, I'm here for that. #mswl #Anich #glowinganimals

I made up a #MSWL! The main problem is that there are honestly more things that I DO want to see books made of than not, but hopefully someone finds this helpful✨

My head is swirling around random thoughts today, but you know what I’d love to see in my inbox???? A sarcastic and wonderful holiday book: nonfiction—cooking book or DIY decorations and their meanings (love learning about traditions) or fiction—YA rom-com. #MSWL

I drink it when I’m sick or sad or cold... I adore almost all tea (particularly earl grey de la creme!). I also love learning about tea! This book teaches about the history, methods of preparation, and I loved reading it. #MSWL fiction or nonfiction about tea!

I would watch a show that was based on true stories of cops fabricating evidence and sending people to jail.This isn’t a joke tweet.
I think it would gain an enormous audience, both hating & loving it.
More importantly it would serve a public good.
#MSWL This as a book, fiction or non-fiction

Thank you Megan. Here is a great article for anyone just starting to think of getting an agent. Also a reminder I need to update my #MSWL — still seeking women & BIPOC authors in nonfiction. #WritingCommunity
