This week, meet Ayesha! #MeetAPL

Ayesha represents literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, memoir, history, and biographies. She has recently reopened to queries.

Check out her recent projects, her #MSWL, and her #amwriting advice below 😍

#MSWL nonfiction/MG on the history of bicycles and women and the freedom it afforded (in more ways than one). womenshistory.org/articles/pedal…

• Stories about (non-anthropomorphic) animals, human-animal bonds, nature & high-stakes survival
• Select author-driven nonfiction, primarily with a radical, social justice–oriented focus—think prison abolition, open borders, union organizing, anarchy, socialism

“Non-Fiction I loved (from the past year or two): HEARTLAND, TRICK MIRROR, LIKE A MOTHER, PERMISSION TO FEEL, ELOQUENT RAGE.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL Adult fiction and nonfiction celebrating women who have chosen the child-free lifestyle.

📣My new colleagues at @bloomsburykids got my hiring announced before I even had all my passwords! Now that I’ve been there a week I guess I better make sure the timeline knows, too. So excited to work on more amazing true stories for kids! Stay tuned for #mswl 💫📚✨🍾

Super random #MSWL, but I want a NF book about the social/cultural history of taking/sending nudes! How they are still super taboo but also increasingly common (Cuz there'll be a point in the not so far future where execs, political leaders, errbody has nudes floating around...)

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

Hi 👋🏻 can someone write me this nonfiction picture book? #MSWL 🌳❤️ collective-evolution.com/2018/05/10/sci…

Happy #EarthDay2020 ! This is a #MSWL reminder to please send me your nonfiction (and fiction?) books on the environment 💚🌍📗 #EarthDayEveryDay

Ooh, it's 4/20! #MSWL non-fiction AND fiction where marijuana plays a role (I particularly loved THE SCRATCH AND SNIFF BOOK OF WEED, for example)

#AskAPL Platformed health & wellness prescriptive NF, narratives about running, food, sustainability. Books that help us live better. Fresh romance & voicey romcoms, twisty mysteries with great sense of place. Surprise me!

Full disclosure: I want this so much I can even 'see' the title: WHEN IN DOUBT, ADD EMPATHY #MSWL

(...and that includes adding empathy in how we treat our many selves.)

“I’d love to read a nonfiction proposal about the power of empathy.”

A few specific #mswl bits I'm on the hunt for at the moment: character-driven sci-fi (THE LAST WATCH), gothic horror (THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE), immersive mystery (Attica Locke's Highway 59 series), and journalistic nonfiction (Patrick Radden Keefe is a favorite).

“I am on the hunt for non-fiction in MG. Show me glimpses of history that haven’t been taught to younger students before, collections of pieces, anthologies." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Picture Books: stories with literary sensibilities, nonfiction (not biographies) the Wheel of the Year, cultural traditions/folklore/history.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

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

I don't typically tweet such specific #mswl ideas, but I'm looking for books on environmental impact, especially older nf about sustainable architecture and innovations in materials used for everyday stuff (food storage, toys, textiles, etc.)!

“I’m looking for all kinds of non-fiction, especially cookbooks, memoirs, essay collections, wellness, and pop-culture history books.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl
