Talking about perspectives, we all love a good female lens, but I’d like that to be more nuanced. Give me irreverent, quirky or flawed heroines. They can be strong but not infallible. I want characters that are representative of the world around us, with varied outlooks!

Spice or no spice? 🌶️ I’m open to all romance but make it intimate and real and let’s have a good slow burn first. I want the leads to be pining and for that tension to be unbearable. It’s not an exact science but the 60 percent mark is a good place for sparks to start flying!

I love a trope so don’t feel like you need to reinvent the genre, but I’d be interested in seeing tropes explored creatively. I fall for morally grey characters that are ultimately good. Send me your fated lovers/enemies-to-lovers/forbidden & second chance love stories, and more!

I’m looking for fantasy where romance is the driving force, paired with vivid world-building, unusual magic systems, lush settings, and high-stake adventures. Hooky premise is a must. Think Carissa Broadbent’s TSatWoN – The Hunger Games with vampires? Yes, please!

Our pitching party starts today! @alicecaprio94 is dying to find an all-consuming, tension-filled #romantasy of epic proportions in the #YA #NA #A space. Check out her #MSWL 🧵 below & tweet a short pitch using the #FBARomFan hashtag. Find guidelines here: rb.gy/4pmca

"The human brain is an endless source of fascination. I'd welcome nonfiction titles exploring the nexus between neuroscience and other fields, e.g., neuropsychology, neurosociology, neuropharmacology, neuronutrition, etc."

Yes. #MSWL

I am re-opened to queries early and I have an updated #MSWL -- accepted some YA now as well. #amquerying #writerscommunity manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mich…

And, if you just have something REALLY good-- send it to me.

Books at the intersection of #health and #SocialJustice

Books that use cooking to tell stories...

Send me #memoirs of all types and stripes! Love me a good memoir....

Send me anything to do with education and health

And kids and nature-- physical and/or mental health

Also: the intersection of agricultural systems and health

Still looking for a book to help #caregivers of all kinds. They need an extra and different kind of support.

Okay-- I'd love a book about food. Really, anything to do with food. How we interact with it, how it contributes to our health/mental health, how to cook it, how it connects to our environmental health. #foodwriters what do you have?
