Non Fiction #mswl

I need to learn something new, something I can't find on the internet. Something modern. Or a modern twist on a classic topic. I liked THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED, CULTISH, MOTHERHOOD SO WHITE, STRANGE RITES, HOW TO DO NOTHING.

I'd love to see something for foodies on the non-fiction side. A cookbook, a narrative, a satirical piece. Something fresh that draws readers in. Also, on the empowerment side, something uplifting with strong takeaways for readers. #MSWL

I'd really love to see more family sagas with old secrets that unfold over time, mothers and daughters breaking cycles of generational trauma rather than perpetuating it, and something fresh and laugh-out-loud funny in terms of non-fiction narrative. #MSWL

As for me, I'm always looking for genre-blending literary fiction, accessible sci-fi and fantasy, diverse and inclusive kid-lit, and moving non-fiction.

Some recent examples from my list? Here are some by @AlisonStine @mikechenwriter @mk_england and @JamesTateHill.

I've updated my #MSWL page for their great new platform and look forward to queries - especially if it's a multicultural love story, a
BIPOC perspective on history (fiction or nonfiction), a thriller in an unusual time and place...
