Calling nonfiction authors! I'm looking for history, military, politics, biographies, journalism, memoirs and science. #amquerying #amagenting #MSWL

&/or: More broadly, a project about the weird culture/history of ultramarathons altogether! Would so love for a sports/outdoors writer to pitch me this. #MSWL

I've said this before, but I've been thinking about it a lot in light of the first woman finisher, #MSWL : A dream nonfiction project of mine is a book about the Barkley Marathons that is as Tennessee-spirited & compelling as the '14 "The Race That Eats Its Young" doc.

I'm open to SELECT queries in adult NF (trad pubbed or debut), YA & adult fiction by NY Times/USA Today bestselling authors (indie or trad), or trad pubbed w/ multiple books.
ONLY:
-thriller
-mystery
-YA contemporary
-YA romantasy
NO DEBUTS, except NF RN
#WritingCommunity #MSWL

I also want non-fiction on a variety of topics including (but not limited to) love, relationships, popular culture, politics and history. Books that make complicated ideas more accessible. Also very much on the hunt for cookery and food books. 🥘🧑‍🍳

Story is key to the books I enjoy; I’m always looking for a plot to drive me through a novel and I love NF that reads almost like a story at the same time as it educates and informs. It’s also super important to me to work with authors from a wide variety of backgrounds.

May/June my focus will be on Non-Fiction (all ages, but especially non-memoir NF) and Adult Action/Adventure/Suspense.

Basic summary of what I'm currently acquiring:
✔️MG & YA (all genres)
✔️GN for kids w/illustrator attached
✔️Adult/NA romcom/romcom adjacent
✔️Adult/NA romantasy
✔️Adult/NA SFF w/ strong romance
✔️Narrative NF in History only

And I usually acquire commercial material.

Hi, all! I’m open to queries again starting today! Here are some specifics about what I’m on the hunt for but you can read my longer wishlist (and access my query form!) here: corvisieroagency.com/alexandra-grana.html

Sparingly open to nonfiction in picture books, from educational to memoir.

I'm open to bios; I prefer underrepresented subjects (NIKI NAKAYMA: A CHEF’S TALE IN 13 BITES by Debbi Michiko Florence).

Informative with some wit, like Mary Roach for kids!

-Disability, in both fiction and nonfiction

-Diverse cultures, holidays, traditions, identities (THE PROUDEST BLUE by Ibtihaj Muhammad, YOU ARE THE COLOR by Rifk Ebeid)

For both—again, open to any format/premise here!

Anthology pitches: The industry is still not always full-steam-ahead on them, so my consideration may be a bit narrower than novels, but I’m interested, for both fiction and nonfiction. (THIS IS OUR RAINBOW and BEING ACE are favorites!)

Is there anything better than picking the 📚 you'll bring on a long ✈️? I'm 👀🔎 for page turners that make 6 hour flights feel like 2, transformative non fiction, 🤣 romances, tearjerkers😭, heart breakers💔 open to genre, fiction/nonfiction adult #MSWL #WritingCommunity

- Gen Z mental health (NF)
- Book on Fashion/hip hop/Queer Ballroom time in history (NF)
- Breakdown of Therapy Speak (NF)

my nonfiction #mswl : memoir, anthologies, and single narrative nonfiction about all facets of Southern culture / by writers who claim the South as home. Essay collections but need to truly sing (and be complete). Proposals and in-prog okay for longer narrative projects.

You have a few more days to submit to @HubCityPress 's nonfiction reading period! Good reasons to:

1) we love unagented work!
2) we still need a southern literary nonfiction title for 2026
3) we have good taste (imo) and love braided / lyric narratives

Non-Fic #MSWL request. I'd love to see a narrative non-fic about running—humorous & uplifting voice be great. Memoir-esque, but informative.

Author must have a platform, and ideally either will have been a competitive runner or coach/trainer but not necessary.
