Strong storytelling skills are as important in nonfiction as they are in fiction. Structure and language are key.

For nonfiction, platform is important. Academics who own their subject, who’ve done more thinking and research about it than anyone else, stand out. But your writing chops are what makes it sellable.

FOR NONFICTION, I acquired history for years as an editor. I love big, bold, definitive books that shake up how we think of a person or event.

Summer reading means my Summer #MSWL ! Writers querying agents, listen up—as an agent, I represent both fiction and nonfiction. #amquerying

Writers, I'm #opentoqueries and looking for unique nonfiction from subject matter experts of all kinds, Christian and GM. If you've got expertise and the ability to write an engaging book about it, send me your query! {Sub guidelines at link in profile} #mswl

Picture Books #MSWL :
☑️ Non-Fiction (biography, STEM, history preferrable. This is also the ONLY place I will consider anthropomorphism: talking objects/animals)
☑️ themes of grief
☑️ break down gender stereotypes
☑️ variety of family structures

Thank you for all of your submissions! Kristina is now CLOSED to queries (unless you have that nonfiction book analyzing the narrative of the #tradwife ) #mswl

I am ALWAYS on the lookout for exciting nonfiction projects. Really looking for narrative nonfiction about science, pop culture, and history. Not looking for memoir, (unless you are a well known musician or member of a well known band 😁😎). #MSWL

Seeking nonfiction from thought leaders in Women’s Wellness, Parenting, Climate Tech, and Financial Literacy. #mswl

Nonfiction from experts in these fields: entertainment, science, medicine, nature, lifestyle, or home and business organization, the most significant factor being cultural and global impact (should have published works in journals/periodicals; a mailing or substack) #MSWL

Friends, it's been a long time coming, but I can FINALLY announce that my MSWL is live and I'm officially open to queries.
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jessica-berg/

WRITERS: I will be closing to queries on June 8th-so that I can catch up on submissions and focus on client manuscripts. As a reminder, I'm looking for YA/MG/PB and Adult and Kids NF. Polish and send those queries by 6/8 or hang on to them until later in the summer. Thanks!

I am open to queries! I need to prioritize current authors, so right now there are very specific types of books that I will be paying closer attention to.

Submission instructions are at dunhamlit.com, and this graphic will hopefully also help you plan when to query me.

I'm also looking for non-fiction projects in the areas of current events, true crime, science, history, narrative non-fiction, sports, politics, health & nutrition(I'd love a big brain book).2/

WRITERS! New #MSWL w/ a few changes. Still looking for Adult NF (lifestyle, parenting, sports, current events, etc) and YA/MG/PB, but expanding YA/MG to fantasy and still including dystopian/sci-fi/horror/contemporary. Make me laugh, make me sob! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shari-maurer/

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
