my nonfiction #mswl : memoir, anthologies, and single narrative nonfiction about all facets of Southern culture / by writers who claim the South as home. Essay collections but need to truly sing (and be complete). Proposals and in-prog okay for longer narrative projects.

You have a few more days to submit to @HubCityPress 's nonfiction reading period! Good reasons to:

1) we love unagented work!
2) we still need a southern literary nonfiction title for 2026
3) we have good taste (imo) and love braided / lyric narratives

I know this is a big ask but I would practically sell my soul for a Once Upon a Broken Heart type romantasy! If you’ve written such a gem & need an agent, hit me up! 🙏🤞♥️ Sub guidelines at skylark-literary.com/submission-guidelines #mswl

Also, while repped by my fabulous colleague @NepheleTempest this is exactly the type of book that is at the very top of my #MSWL

#MSWL Corrupt famous person actually receives justice. Justice not revenge.

Currently injured and taking forced time out from my favourite hobby (running) and reflecting a lot on the running world and mindset. If anyone is querying a literary leaning novel with running as a central theme or focus I would love to see it! #mswishlist #mswl

I’m craving dark academic YA fantasy #mswl

Somebody please use this as inspo for a serious paranormal heist book and query me with it, I am begging you. #mswl #AmAgenting

Non-Fic #MSWL request. I'd love to see a narrative non-fic about running—humorous & uplifting voice be great. Memoir-esque, but informative.

Author must have a platform, and ideally either will have been a competitive runner or coach/trainer but not necessary.

Perpetual #MSWL

apropos of nothing in particular if YOU are writing epic fantasy about kingdom-rending lesbian situationships send it to ME #mswl

Rewatching DOCTOR WHO means realizing that my deeply embedded love for well written, story-relevant age gaps and couples who argue, stand together, and communicate effortlessly comes from my endless love for Rose and Nine. Every scene, I swoon #MSWL

#MSWL magic schools are cool but I'm feeling for a magical H-mart
