New nonfiction #MSWL : I’d love to see pitches/proposals for a book like Julie Smith’s WHY HAS NOBODY TOLD ME THIS BEFORE? but for physical personal care. Also could be described as the adult version of THE CARE AND KEEPING OF YOU.

"Seeking paradigm-shifting nonfiction on psychology, history, current affairs, science, politics, narrative journalism, nature and the environment, wellness, spirituality, economics, mathematics, parenting, lifestyle, and pop culture." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL

"Send me your illustrated picture books with literary sensibilities. I'm looking for whimsical stories, fascinating nonfiction, and stunning art." @agentvicente #MSWL

"Nonfiction proposals with an intersectional feminist angle immediately catch my attention. A few issues I'd like to see examined: occupational segregation, equal pay, and emotional labor."

FORMATS:
I just did the deal for books 12 & 13 in my first 12 months as an S&S editor (🎉)—and many of them are picture books! (My first & forever love.)

So this year, I’m especially eager to acquire more MG and YA: novels/verse, graphics, nonfiction.

This reminds me that I would LOVE to see (nonfiction) books about art history with new research or from new perspectives or intersections with other fields! #MSWL

"I'm looking for graphic nonfiction by author/illustrators for all age categories." @agentvicente #MSWL

I'm currently open to queries for: PBs, art/illustrations, thrillers, mysteries, psychological suspense/thrillers, & adult nonfiction (see Query Manager for list: QueryManager.com/QueryLynnetteNLynnetteNovak). I'm TEMPORARILY closed to queries for MG & YA projects. #MSWL #WritingCommunity

"I'm looking for all kinds of nonfiction, especially cookbooks, memoirs, essay collections, wellness, and pop culture history books."

"Psychology is perhaps my favorite field in nonfiction. I welcome story-based proposals in the vein of MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by Lori Gottlieb & methodology-based projects in the vein of HOW TO DO THE WORK by Nicole LePera."

Two things I’d like to see more of in my box: adult nonfiction and #illustrators . Query me through Query Manager. #MSWL #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

#MSWL Self-Help/Pop psychology nonfiction geared towards mental health and wellness for young Millennial/Gen Z. A BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ focus is a plus.

"Send me YA nonfiction: memoir, essay collections, you name it. QUEER, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE is probably my favorite YA nonfiction title in recent memory, and a great example of what I'd like to see."

Nonfiction is harder for me to pin down, but I am mostly interested in subjects that relate to humanity and community. Some topics I will be looking for include: spirituality, intuition, natural living, culture, food, and agriculture.

PB:
-Books that instill a sense of wonder and curiosity, both about the world around them and about their peers
-Books that respect kids' Big Feelings
-Soon-to-be iconic characters and their adventures
-Nonfiction where the author’s passion jumps off the page, ala Bill Nye

"I want stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are themselves neurodivergent, both in fiction and nonfiction, middle grade, young adult, and adult."
