I’m on the hunt for great business books with an original angle that both educate and entertain. Think NO FILTER by @sarahfrier and INVISIBLE WOMEN by @CCriadoPerez . Demonstrable expertise/experience is a must when querying for nonfiction.

I adore a good essay collection. TRICK MIRROR by @jiatolentino , THE WITCHES ARE COMING by Lindy West, and ODWABDANOTWM by @Scaachi are so good I’ve read them more than once! Brilliant essayists, please query me!
Literary Agent
For memoir, LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS by T. Kira Madden blew me away, and two all-time favorites are EDUCATED by @tarawestover and WILD GAME by @adriennebrodeur

INVENTING LATINOS by Laura E. Gomez was informative, insightful, and inspirational. I listened to this one and kept having to pause to write down all the brilliant quotes. I’d love to get more submissions from fellow Latines!

I also couldn’t get enough of MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by @LoriGottlieb1 . First of all, it reads like a novel, but ALSO it taught me so much about self-analysis. If you’re like Lori, I might be the agent for you!

All right, #amquerying writers—let’s talk FAVE RECENT READS because what better way is there for you to get to know my taste? Are one of these titles a comp for your story? Is your writing style similar to one of these authors? If so, please query me! 🙋🏽♀️ #WritingCommunityFor nonfiction I adored HOOD FEMINISM by @Karnythia — in fact, I often quote her when offending misogynists (one of my fave activities 😇). Send me your feminist nonfiction, especially if they examine race, sexual orientation, and class! Let’s offend misogynists together! 😈

Authors keep querying me manuscripts with ghosts in them, and it's WONDERFUL. You all are reading my mind. Please keep them coming! #MSWL

A friend’s grandma got covid (she’s recovered)How did she get covid? She’s been sneaking off to karaoke bars that are covertly operating illegally, w/o covid precautions.
Illegal. Underground. Grandma. Karaoke Bars.
Am I disappointed? Amazed? Losing my mind? All of the above.
#MSWL for illegal underground Grandma karaoke bars in a YA cozy murder book.

I get serious FOMO over any book that's about the Scandinavian art of anything (living, breathing, eating, cooking). I'm a Nordic girl at heart so hit me up if you're writing anything Nordic. #MSWL

Has somebody written the YA book about the kid who is the president of their school’s GSA for 3 years before they take notice that they themselves are not straight? It seems like too common a scenario to miss in the teen literary canon.If you know of this, please tell Emmet (and me!); if not, #mswl.
