I'm back with a real #MSWL since opening to queries. I posted a photo of things I can't shut up about last week and that's threaded, but also threaded are some recent and upcoming reads that I loved/am excited about that I wanna see in my inbox.

And, in the oddly specific: I’d really love a book about how amazing dogs are for our mental health and happiness. Could be a memoir? Could be a how to deal with the grief when we lose one of these precious friends. Had to say goodbye to my best girl this summer. Here's my gem:

Also, I want books for caregivers of cancer patients (other types of patients, too!). It’s a special role, those caregivers, and they don’t get nearly the support they need/

As someone who would rather be on a mountain than anywhere else, I’d love to see anything that takes a look at the #environment and #health and #wellness. The more memoir and thoughtful, the better. Also, the more science-y because science is GOOD./

As someone who has been a teacher for many years, I’d love to see anything at the intersection of #education and #wellness. The effect of school on our wellness and health, on kids, on ourselves, on our teachers/

Agents, the weather is cooling down and I would love some fantasy romance YA to heat up my inbox! Bonus points if it’s extra steamy 🔥🔥 #mswl

We are also keen to see MG sci-fi and fantasy, and are particularly looking for UK middle grade by creators from historically excluded backgrounds.

Looking forward to reading! #mswl

Hi all! I recently added a caveat for #MSWL about what topics are *not* for me.

EATING DISORDERS OR ANIMAL DEATH– Both due to personal reasons. Of course, these books are important, and I’d be happy to suggest another editor at AMU who might be the right fit.
