I'm a sucker for history narrative nonfiction that juxtaposes two people from the same time, like THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY or THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN. If your title is THE _____ AND THE _____, I will probably like it. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm on the hunt for wildly entertaining literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir, esp from underrepresented perspectives. Dying to see non-Eurocentric HF, refreshing romcoms a la #CrazyRichAsians, propulsive toxic female friendship stories--omg the list goes on--

I'd love to get more narrative nonfiction with a strong platform. Maybe something pop science-y, psychology-y, true crime, flashy history, memoir. #MSWL

Otherwise, in nonfiction: culture essays, sports (as long as it comes with a broader non-sport ramification), history, science, all those upmarket NF categories. #MSWL

I'm also looking for more nonfiction--particularly smart, accessible books about feminism, science, history, or travel; and prescriptive or art/gift books with a geeky subject. Author platform preferred! #mswl

Nonfiction that merges pop culture, history, & feminism — like my client @sammaggs’ books: THE FANGIRL’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, WONDER WOMEN, & GIRL SQUADS. #MSWL

#MSWL:
- YA Rom Com
- MG/YA #OwnVoices Contemporary
- YA Suspense
- MG/YA Graphic Novels
- MG Mystery
- MG/YA Light Fantasy (grounded in reality)
- PB Author/Illustrators
- Adult Nonfiction (esp. "pop science")

Speaking of nonfiction for young people, query me with:
--Deeply reported narrative of historical events
--Bios of underappreciated historical women or POC
--Self help from columnist of mainstream publication or popular blog
#MSWL

I really, really want illustrated nonfiction. Ex: WHAT WE SEE IN THE STARS, LITERARY WITCHES. Or maybe something prescriptive and workbook-ish like THE CURATED CLOSET. #MSWL

Seeking fiction and nonfiction for pb through YA to inspire hope and shape tomorrow’s heroes #resist #mswl jdlit.com/marie-lamba

Those include:
YA fiction & nonfiction (all kinds)
MG fiction & NF (all kinds)
SF/F (especially upmarket/literary)
Narrative NF
Adult literary

“Nature-based nonfiction picture books.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

In the wake of my first nonfiction deal announcement: I am looking to do a lot more nonfiction! Areas of interest: pop culture, media, humor, gender&sexuality, race&ethnicity, disability, sex work, biography, narrative history. #MSWL

Re-upping to add that this also works for #nonfiction. If you have a project like THE BUTCHERING ART by Lindsey Fitzharris, THE POISONER'S HANDBOOK by Deborah Blum, or MAKING THE MONSTER by Kathryn Harkup, send it over. #mswl

As a native Pittsburgher and a volunteer in the conservation lab at the @MorganLibrary, this is a SUPER #MSWL for me, in fiction or nonfiction!

As you know I've been on the hunt for more #ownvoices and #diversebooks in nonfiction & fiction in mystery, suspense, thriller, upmarket & literary, & women's fiction. #MSWL

I'd also like to see fun, sweary, powerful, in your face self-help nonfiction--like YOU ARE A BADASS or THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F**CK, but I'd like them to be written by women. #MSWL

And if you have made it this far in my fan girling, you might have noticed that the genres I DON'T HAVE. Which is why I am looking for:

-Graphic Novels
-Nonfiction
-Historical Fiction
-Magical Realism

In addition to my fantasy and contemporary list. #MSWL

Anyone who knows I studied the history of decorative arts in grad school can probably figure out I'm a big material culture nerd. Are you working on a nonfiction project like Glenn Adamson's FEWER, BETTER THINGS or Lara Maiklem's upcoming MUDLARK? I'd love to see them! #mswl
