Director, @hubcitypress . She/her. Canadian in the South 🍁. Way over yonder in the minor key. Tweets are 100% my own and don’t represent HCWP.

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

My #MSWL: novels; single-topic nonfiction; nonfiction projects that blend memoir/reportage; projects by BIPOC writers, non-MFAs, writers over 40.Modern and imaginative books that redefine/interrogate the modern or historic South.
boosting this CNF #MSWL on the occasion of the manuscript reading period opening on Saturday!

We're changing up our open query period a bit! (We're shortening it). As I've said before, we receive hundreds and hundreds of queries each time we open but only realistically have 2 or 3 spots to fill.Read more about the changes below! Dms are open for questions, etc 🪐 twitter.com/HubCityPress/s…

told someone this am that any literary near-future novel set in a climate change ravaged South gets immediate interest from me

Final warning: I am actively searching for a literary CNF book by a writer of color. Needs to be literary & about the South. Open until midnight for already completed projects for 2020. As always: my inbox is open for chats about in-progress works. @WritersofColor @HubCityPressI have some new followers! Here's a tweet that sums up my perennial #MSWL for @HubCityPress. We are a small press (no $800k advances here) but endeavor to maintain a curated list to be sure our titles are as well-supported as we can manage with a tiny staff.

I'm so excited to read MILL TOWN by @KerriArsenault. It looks like it hits on so many of my interest points for NF: town books, industry, modernity v traditional ways, water, climate justice. (it doesn't hurt that it's set 30 min down the road from where I grew up).And fwiw, I'd love to find a book like that set in the South. If you (or someone you know) are at work on that kind of project, lmk. A little #mswl for your Tuesday am.
