#MSWL I'm also looking for unique and unusual NF pieces; craft and recipe books aren't the best fits for me, but other kinds of "how to" that are more out of the mainstream could be of interest. I'm not specifically looking for memoir or personal essay unless it's really unique.

For Nonfic, I'm looking for Narrative nonfiction, some memoir and cultural criticism. I'm pretty flexible here, but generally looking for authors who have a personal stake in the subject matter and who can infuse their own perspective into whatever they're investigating 7/10

I rep everything from PB through to adult projects, both fiction and NF but see previous note about authors who write mainly PB (list is currently VERY full in that area). I also rep illustrators selectively.

I’m always curious for more historical fiction and narrative nonfiction from non-white/non-Eurocentric perspectives about events or individuals that deserve to be more widely talked about #mswl

In non-fiction, if you have a strong platform or the credentials to support your writing, I am open to most ideas. A strong narrative voice that will draw me is especially important.

ok last non-fiction #mswl for now: increasingly i am made aware of how deeply capitalism influences and infiltrates our lives, in big and small ways. i would love to keep exploring that and hearing about other ways we could imagine our lives, please!

-topics within mental health and how the societies we live in affect it 👀

-biographies of women from history, whether ones who were ignored/forgotten or maybe a revised look at a known figure!!! esp written by fellow women!

ok, some non-fiction #mswl!

truth is, i'm a nerd on a futile quest to learn everything, ever, but some topics/areas i often gravitate towards:
-pop culture & what it says about us/the times we're living in

-deep dives into cultural history of <topic/thing>

Nonfiction (especially self-help or cultural commentary) from qualified sources. I want books that help people discover issues they didn't know about or see a familiar problem in a new way. Fresh perspectives are not only welcomed but encouraged! #MSWL
