Follow up to yesterday's #MSWL: similarly, in the style of Unsolved Mysteries, I want investigative non-fiction about rural life in America, from people who have lived it. Gimme gimme.

I’ve been inspired to put down my book & pick up queries. Focusing on works by BIPOC, Latinx, LGBTQ (esp Trans) authors in fiction & nonfiction #mswl

“I particularly enjoy nonfiction books in the following categories: pop culture, science, design, and lifestyle.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

A novel or non fiction project about Ray Eames (Charles’ partner and collaborator). #design #mswl

"Non-fic like Clayton M. Christensen's THE INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA & Michael Lewis' FLASH BOYS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’m always searching for books about the American South, especially romances, women’s fiction, horror and non-fiction” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Platform-driven non fiction with unique hooks (platform meaning: social media/YouTube followers, TV appearances, email newsletter numbers etc).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'd love something exploring ability/disability. Definitely #OWNVOICES. Non-fiction or fiction but my taste skews more commercial, not literary #mswl

I would love unique cookbook concepts by Black and Indigenous bloggers as well as non-fiction by BIPOC food writers #mswl

Non-fiction about social/urban geography & how we move through our world. City planning etc leading to inequity and reinforcing racism through planning. Ideally with a feminist lens like INVISIBLE WOMEN. #mswl

Non-fiction about the sobriety movement from an expert or journalist. #mswl

I receive almost no cookbooks/food-related nonfiction, & I'd love to see more of those, too. #MSWL

i wrote this in an introduction to my ~taste~ that i put together for our ed director & realised i never said it in public so:

i would really really really really love to work on a picture book biography or MG NF graphic novel about grace lee boggs #mswl

#MSWL in all the contemporary YA (or MG) I read, I like to see boys being feminists and practicing healthy relationships and consent. ALWAYS queer-positive. I'd also love to see a #nonfiction proposal talking directly to boys about feminism and consent.

“Graphic Novels: contemporary young adult and middle grade, graphic memoirs, graphic nonfiction.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Non-fiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Just got through my first batch of manuscripts. Ready for more. #mswl includes history, business, how-to, and self-actualization. Historical fiction also being considered. For Query guidelines go to amysadvice.com

I'd love to see:
✨ NF pop culture/geeky books from non-white authors
✨ BIPOC & POC fans being passionate & creative
✨ Positive, playful LGBTQA+ rom-coms
✨ Soft, beautiful, powerful friendships
✨ More empowering, playful, joyful stories with BIPOC & POC MCs
#MSWL
