My updated #MSWL is live. I'd love to add some great new clients (to join my existing great clients❤️) and dig into projects together! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jen-…

And, in the oddly specific: I’d really love a book about how amazing dogs are for our mental health and happiness. Could be a memoir? Could be a how to deal with the grief when we lose one of these precious friends. Had to say goodbye to my best girl this summer. Here's my gem:

@HCI_Books we’re always looking for books in self-help and psychology, health and wellness, inspiration, relationships, memoirs, mind/body/spirit integration. Here's my #MSWL coming at you, #agents and #writers! A thread on books I want:/

#MSWL: For #ChildrensBooks I'm only looking for Middle Grade and Young Adult right now. In the NF children's space I want STEAM-focused titles, anything whimsical and transportive, but has to be light on fantasy/ grounded fantasy (no #scifi for me).

#MSWL: Always on the hunt for prescriptive non-fiction with practical takeaways, #cookbooks with a unique angle or narratives centered on #culinary or #foodie life. Currently loving Mooncakes & Milk Bread by Kristina Cho. Want more southern, Asian-forward, indigenous cookbooks!

#MSWL: Check out @stuartpalley's book Into the Inferno for a good example of what I'm looking to rep in this space. Also: medical narratives, anything shedding light on the #healthcare industry and weaving in history. Books like Heart: A History by Sandeep Jauhur, for example.

Finally posting my #MSWL 1 week after joining @FolioLiterary & @FolioJr! Please RT to yr #writer friends who are actively #querying! My list will be primarily non-fiction focused, both in the adult and children's space. You can always check out my bio on the Folio webpage too.

Oh wow! I would read this in either fiction or narrative nonfiction. An epistolary format in fiction should be FABULOUS!!! #MSWL.

Note: I'm closed to queries, but if you have this EXACT thing, I would read it.

As mentioned above, I do also rep nonfiction and YA. Check out my complete MSWL here for more details on those categories publishersmarketplace.com/members/alyssa…, or visit my website alyssamaltese.com for more info.

Time for an updated #MSWL thread! 🧵

I’m a literary agent at @RootLiterary seeking adult fiction, young adult fiction, and adult nonfiction.

"For fiction and nonfiction: I fall in love with stellar writing on the level of the line, voice, and rhythm."

And, I am very much still actively building my adult nonfiction list! Looking for books with platform backed by experience/professionals in self help, business (women in business!), parenting, psychology, pop science, and mind/body/spirit

#MSWL Economic realities in the late 19th-early 20th century made this a cottage industry for women with few choices. This life offered them independence and respectability. I want more about this in nonfiction and fiction.

"Seeking narrative nonfiction about (pop) culture history, science, and nature topics."

I’m open to ANY book written for a child reader, fiction or non-fiction, any age group - and my tastes will always lean towards the loud, the commercial, and the zeitgeisty. If you’re saying something new, I want to help you say it louder!

"Is your project a nonfiction about wellness or craft and hobby? I want to see it! Particularly practical, prescriptive titles."

#mswl a narrative nonfiction book about underrepresented pioneers in lingerie design?

1,000 years later, my #MSWL is finally updated & live! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/erin… #kidlit

Next week is September which is practically October which is practically Halloween, so I declare spooky season officially open. Writers, bring me your witches, your murders, your haunted houses, your true crime, your spooky nonfiction. Bring it all. #mswl

#MSWL for when I re-open Sept 1:
nonfiction business, leadership, lifestyle, cookbooks, home decor, gift books, and picture books.

Platform matters but platform is sometimes more than social media numbers.
