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!

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!

For 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

#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

I'm trying to find MG books about lesbian characters (for a friend) and coming up with VERY few on our list. Agents, please send these along - we want more of these! #mswl

“When it comes to pop-history, I love books that introduce readers to untold stories. My author Alex Rubens' 8-Bit Apocalypse is the perfect example.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

All of my library holds are coming in at the same time 🙃 but at least it's a great way to show the kinds of books on my #mswl.

I've been busy getting ready for 2021!
