PB:
-outdoors. more outdoors, always
-gutsy, silly, obnoxious kids taking center stage
-unique aspects of culture (am always open to food, but am mostly looking for non-food entry points to story right now)
-author-illustrators whose styles feel ✨cozy✨
-NF about BIPOC history!

I will be closing to fiction queries from November 1st through January 9th for holidays and catching up. (I will still be open for cookbooks.) If you want to get your fiction (or NF PB) in before then, here's an #MSWL thread of what I'm looking for right this moment.

"Psychology is perhaps my favorite field in nonfiction. I'd love to read stories about therapists and their patients in the vein of MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by Lori Gottlieb and GOOD MORNING, MONSTER by Catherine Gildiner."

11/ @LouRaguse's true crime book VANISHED IN VERMILLION comes out soon, and I would LOVE to do more non-fiction crime stories. If you have read, watched, or listened to something true crime, I probably have, too. And if I haven't, please tell me about it.

"Seeking nonfiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT."

If anyone has NF: home decor, lifestyle, or organizing, I would love to see it before I close on the 15th. #MSWL

I'd love to see more Adult #NF and author/illustrator projects this time around. #MSWL #kidlitart

"Send me YA nonfiction: memoir, essay collections, you name it. QUEER, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE is probably my favorite YA nonfiction title in recent memory, and a great example of what I'd like to see."

I'm also open to #PB, #MG, and #NF for all ages. Not looking for board books or rhyme at this time.

I’m particularly seeking adult #NF, esp. #STEM topics and anything related to food, nature, or sustainability. #MSWL

i'm finally open to queries! check out what I want here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kati… on #MSWL and query me here: querymanager.com/query/2696

i also love narrative nonfiction that blends personal experience with investigative reporting or cultural criticism—Gabriela Wiener, Jenny Odell, Hanif Abdurraqib, and Rebecca Solnit are all favorites—and i'd love to see more food writing like THE WAY WE EAT NOW

#MSWL

Forever on my #MSWL --- an always important, always pertinent topic!

"Seeking nonfiction on the history of tutelary colonialism and its effects on the present-day immigration crises and policies."

"I'd love to see more YA or MG illustrated nonfiction or graphic novels about women’s rights, reproductive health, and adjacent topics (pop culture included)."

#MSWL MG environmental fiction/nonfiction. 🪶

"I am on the hunt for nonfiction in MG. Show me glimpses of history that haven't been taught to younger students before, collections of pieces, anthologies."

"Fandom books and other illustrated, geeky/pop culture non-fiction titles are my bread and butter."
