"Looking for platform-driven nonfiction with unique hooks. (Platform meaning: social media/YouTube followers, TV appearances, email newsletter numbers, etc)."

In Nonfiction:

💻 Fandom and nerd culture academia

🍬 The intersection of modern politics & pop culture

🦠 Weird histories, deep dives into oddball concepts

🚓 Ethical true crime & structural injustice

#Amquerying authors, it’s time for 2026 #MSWL refresh! As always, I am looking for YA, Adult, Graphic Novel, and select Nonfiction titles with a focus on commercial genre fiction from marginalized voices.

My reading taste is eclectic, but to give you some vibes, think of me for projects that are..

Wish list time: I’m actively building a list of ambitious narrative nonfiction—and I’m looking for projects with the intellectual rigor, narrative force, and the cultural reach of Say Nothing, The Wager, The Splendid and the Vile, The Warmth of Other Suns, and SPQR, etc.

As a reminder, I'll only be opening to nonfiction queries for the month of May. Here's a quick overview of what's on my #mswl if you're interested in hitting me up!
