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

"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."

Non-fiction, in general. I would love to see more pop culture, music, psychology, science, history, business, lifestyle/wellness, and narrative non-fiction from a unique, engaging angle.

"Send me history, business, politics, current affairs, memoir."

"For fiction and nonfiction: I fall in love with stellar writing on the level of the line, voice, and rhythm."
CeCe Lyra #MSWL

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

"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

UPDATE: I'm currently open to queries for historical romance (yes, that's new!!!), romcom, contemporary romance, dark romance, romantasy, horror, women's fiction, and adult nonfiction. For more deets, go to my #MSWL page:

MIDDLE GRADE #MG
Voice-driven middle grade with a captivating setting and quirky, lovable characters. In this space, I am open to horror, fantasy, magical realism, mystery, sci fi, historical, paranormal, adventure, contemporary, and nonfiction.

CHAPTER BOOKS #CB
Character-driven stories with a strong, commercial hook and series potential. I am looking for fantasy, magical realism, mystery, contemporary, nonfiction, light horror, paranormal, and adventure tales here.

I'm also interested in humorous stories that stretch the imagination, creepy picture books that allow young readers to explore fear, tension, and the unknown in a safe and fun way, and inventive/clever nonfiction, particularly STEAM themes and narrative nonfiction.

My adult #MSWL is similar to my kidlit wants! I’m very interested in non-memoir non fiction (though I’m always open to a good memoir), uplifting literary fiction, and fun genre fiction that pushes boundaries and/or offers something innovative. See previous post about what I DON’T want. Open on 6/1.

I represent #kidlit of all kinds, but what I’m most interested in receiving in my inbox when we are #opentoqueries on 6/1 is: uplifting contemporary YA, non-fiction for all age groups written in compelling prose, projects from author/illustrators, and novels-in-verse! #MSWL

"I'm seeking nonfiction books with a deep dive into uncommon or unconventional industries, jobs, or programs."

"Nonfiction proposals with an intersectional feminist angle immediately catch my attention. A few issues I'd like to see examined: occupational segregation, equal pay, and emotional labor."
CeCe Lyra #MSWL

My #MSWL categories as we open for queries on 6/1: I’m happy to read both fiction and non-fiction for children and adults in all genres except: erotica, true crime, political non-fiction, very grisly horror, and AI generated works. #amagenting

While I am not open to queries just yet, I have a #MSWL profile you can check out for a preview on what I'll be looking for in the future! 😉

“I love nonfiction about famously haunted places in America, especially in the South and the Midwest. If you have something like that, I’d love to take a look.”
