✨Hello!✨
I'm Allegra. I acquire for the University Press of Colorado. I'd love to see your books in:
- Archaeology (SW, Meso, Near East)
- Anthropology
- Environmental Justice
- Environmental Humanities
#academictwitter #archaeology #anthropology #environmentaljustice #MSWL

#MSWL. I would love to see some biographies of hidden and even well known figures (if they shed a different or new light on the subject). My first jobs in publishing were on two historical projects, and It would be great to expand my client list in this area.

Querying authors, I'm looking for books about the intersection of #faith and culture. Books on #deconstructing and reconstructing faith; asking hard questions about faith. No DMs. See submission guidelines here: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #InspyBooks #WritingCommunity

I’m actively looking for NF. I specialize in working with scientists and experts in their field and would love to work with more!

THIS is the kind of energy I want in a NF project. Tell me facts, but make it absolutely absurd. #MSWL

I'm always looking for MG & YA fiction; graphic novels (early reader - YA); nonfiction for all ages (STEM, social justice, little known history); author-illustrated PBs; projects by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse & disabled creators. #MSWL

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

Would love to see more books about drag queens, kings, and performers. Fiction and nonfiction. #MSWL

I'm working on a big, updated nonfiction #mswl post for my NF writing friends, but, in the meantime, this thread gives an idea of the types of projects I'll be looking for in 2022. Send 'em if you got 'em.

I would be incredibly interested in a nonfiction book examining a purportedly "Western" invention and its actual roots elsewhere (or, a compendium of these!) #MSWL

Nonfiction:
How-to, cookbooks, sustainable living, wellness/beauty, music/film, & memoirs. Looking for strong platforms along with showcasing diversity and an inspiring voice.

I want a plant book! I want a nonfiction plant book that makes it easy to take care of plants at home, in an apartment, ideally, some things that are edible! I can never tell if I'm doing something right with herbs and searching the internet is tiresome...🌱#MSWL

I am officially open to queries! You can query using Query Manager at QueryManager.com/2011

I accept adult SFF, including horror, and adult cozy mystery.

I accept all genre of YA and MG.

I am not looking for PB, NF or graphic novels at this time.

As an acquiring editor and a huge food nerd, I’m looking for cookbook proposals from authors with an established platform! #mswl Recipe writers/testers or literary agents with lifestyle/nonfiction authors, take note 🤞🏼

“Fandom books and other illustrated, geeky/pop culture non-fiction for YA and MG (maybe even PB?) readers.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Nonfiction! Anything with a queer or feminist bent is right up my alley. Think "We Keep the Dead Close"; "In the Dream House"; "Eloquent Rage"; "Know My Name"; and "Romantic Outlaws"

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

For non-fiction, I am looking for prescriptive self-help and health titles that are targeted toward millennial and adult Gen Z readers, as well as marginalized audiences of all ages. #MSWL

First off, work by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or disabled authors are always welcome in the genres I edit, which includes romance yes, but also mystery and thrillers, upmarket fiction, fiction with fantasy/sci-fi/ speculative elements that are mainstream crossovers, and nonfiction.

“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.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’ve opened to picture books. I’ve missed my PB community. (Go easy on me.)

I’ll be prioritizing authors and/or illustrators from marginalized communities, books with side-splitting humor, and fascinating nonfiction (that’s not a bio).
