#MSWL : Nonfiction that turns me into that person at dinner parties. Cold War spy games, true crime that makes me triple-check my locks, pop culture deep dives that make people say how do you even know this? If it sends me into a research spiral at 2 AM, I’m in. #amquerying (1/n)

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology/science fiction). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

Hi Booksky! I've repped a fair share of pop culture and memoir, as well as pop science. I'd love to do more pop science from authors who have strong institutional support and/or major media platforms. Also would love to sell something that helps us see Shakespeare or Nabokov in a new light.

On the older side for nonfiction, I'd love nonfiction that was more than just what we currently have. I just read ATTACHED (so good) and I am thinking, wow if only I had read this as a kid. Where is the hip #YA NF that makes it cool to know about marketing, psychology, history of tattoos, etc #MSWL

But I also want narrative nonfiction that isn't just biographies. I want to learn things about the world. Chemistry is cool! Also biology *while cool* can be gross and cool. #MSWL #PB

PB nonfiction: I love STEM topics and stories exploring the natural world, but has to be more narrative-driven rather than just facts. I probably have my fill of outer space at the moment, but earthbound subjects and overlooked figures are more than welcome!

I saw a lot of incredible queries in 2024, and my experiment of opening my inbox one week a month worked out well. I was able to stay on top of my inbox and meet my personal goal of getting my response times waaaaaay down. That said, I’m still going through Sept-Dec queries…
