I rep adult fiction & nonfiction. For both, I am on the hunt for stories that explore *power* (imbalance, struggle, rise & fall), *identity* (perception, exploration, intersectionality) & *dysfunction* (familial, societal, cultural) told with originality, nuance, & authenticity.

In Picture Books, I'd love to see:
🍎Family traditions and how they shape us
🍎Silly and fun wordplay
🍎Poetic, lyrical books that show emotional resilience
🍎Biographies and nonfiction focusing on people and eras that have been historically overlooked

And last but not least...NON-FICTION
If you have a strong platform and love what you do, feel free to pitch me a concept.

I am specifically seeking:
Narrative non-fiction
Business/Social Media/Tech/Cooking books for teens

family secrets and relationships. I also do nonfiction in the mind, body, spirit side leaning more towards the spirit category. Tarot and oracle cards, crystals, spell work, mediums, mysticism, witches, etc. are where I make my home #MSWL

What a great article. Hidden history about the African-American history of the Outer Banks #obx. I learned about this from my mother but it's new to many people. Also #mswl fiction or non-fiction.

Non-fiction wise, I love an in-depth examination of an issue that we're currently dealing with (EMPIRE OF PAIN is a perfect example). A fresh take on the climate crisis that I wish I had found myself is WARMTH.

Just a heads up that I will be closed to submissions on December 15th. In the meantime, you can find details on my #mswl and querying on my website (URL is in my bio).

WRITERS! I'm open to queries through the holidays so if you have a finished YA/MG/PB/NF ms you're excited about and don't want to wait for the new year, send it over! #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shar…
