-Specifically would love a PB about BIPOC learning to camp, visiting a national park, etc.

PB:
-outdoors. more outdoors, always
-gutsy, silly, obnoxious kids taking center stage
-unique aspects of culture (am always open to food, but am mostly looking for non-food entry points to story right now)
-author-illustrators whose styles feel ✨cozy✨
-NF about BIPOC history!

(Reminder that I only rep writers from systemically excluded communities, with an emphasis on BIPOC)

I will be closing to fiction queries from November 1st through January 9th for holidays and catching up. (I will still be open for cookbooks.) If you want to get your fiction (or NF PB) in before then, here's an #MSWL thread of what I'm looking for right this moment.

Evergreen #mswl: character-driven mystery/thriller which leads me one way and then springs a trapdoor of a twist (ala Brianna Labuskes, Ruth Ware, Riley Sager, etc)

Queries reopen 12/1!

#mswl

I’d be very interested in a book with an MC with Alopecia. Any age. Preferably written by someone who has dealt with it themselves. #MSWL
And It doesn’t have to be an “issue” book either, just a character existing ❤️

On the more literary side: Rachel Cusk, Annie Ernaux, Olga Tokarczuk.

On the more commercial side: Blake Crouch, Peter Clines, Ruth Ware. #MSWL

Iain Reid's I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS, Karl Ove Knausgård's THE MORNING STAR, Hervé Le Tellier's THE ANOMALY, Yoko Ogama's THE MEMORY POLICE, José Saramago's BLINDNESS, Mary Beth Keane's ASK AGAIN YES, Ayelet Gundar-Goshen's WAKING LIONS. More ⬇️ #MSWL

Seeking literary fiction w genre element. Literary speculative, crime, thriller. Unique hooks & new views. Linguistic & storytelling mastery, high personal stakes, psychological depth. Kazuo Ishiguro, Katie Kitamura, Ted Chiang, Emily St. John Mandel, Tana French. More⬇️ #MSWL

When I reopen to queries, I would LOVE a Halloween rom-com. Or really anything set with Halloween as the background.

#MSWL

Not yet, but it is tip top of my wishlist!! Winging your way when I find it... #mswl

1/ Alright. I have already gotten a lot of direct, positive feedback about my #MSWL thread yesterday on SPINs, so since I'm working on a holiday Sunday ANYWAY, I'm going to give you one more - this time on IDENTITIES! Then the internet will know everything about me.

From the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives
A poison book ☠️ #MSWL

"Lehrbuch der Mineralogie" (1799) was coated with Scheele’s Green on the fore edges. This dye produced in the 1700s and 1800s used poisonous arsenic mixed with copper to create a brilliant green.

"Psychology is perhaps my favorite field in nonfiction. I'd love to read stories about therapists and their patients in the vein of MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by Lori Gottlieb and GOOD MORNING, MONSTER by Catherine Gildiner."

"Looking for essay collections like ONE DAY WE'LL ALL BE DEAD AND NONE OF THIS WILL MATTER by Scaachi Koul and THIS WILL BE MY UNDOING by Morgan Jerkins."

Stories where women go feral, whatever that means. Like Margaret Atwood's SURFACING or the TV show Dr. Foster. #MSWL

Oh! Please see my #MSWL post for all my weirdly specific asks, many of which involve these SPINs!

15/15 These are all things that make me VERY happy, and if I haven't made it clear in this thread/I don't say it enough - I am an #ActuallyAutistic agent, and always happy to hear from and work with neurodiverse creators!

14/ Lastly, textile arts and crafts. I do thread painting embroidery, spin wool, sew, and I started crocheting rather non-stop this year. My family is historically a shepherding family. Send me ALL your sheepie stories, and things like THE SUBVERSIVE STITCH, by Rozsika Parker.
