It's easily over 100° outside my house, in the sun, right now, mid-June. I know eco-thrillers are trendy right now, but walking outside fills me with enough dread to get by on. Where are my utopian climate future books? #MSWL

What I'm looking for: I'm especially interested in books that focus on themes of gender and sexuality, feminism, and climate change. But I love any good story well told.

Literally can't help myself, I love dystopian so much. Thinking about all the reservoirs drying up & climate change, I'm interested to see dystopias about parched worlds, little water. I've seen and passed on some before. Any of those that have been revised may query again. #MSWL

I want random acts of CLIMATE. How can kids (and adults!) do good for the planet on a daily basis? I’d love to see some creative takes that go beyond recycling, reducing plastic use, & aren’t afraid to address govt/corp responsibility. #MSWL

YA Fiction:
Rom-coms, paranormal romance, dystopian romance, science fiction/fantasy/speculative, & thriller/suspense. I would love to see: diversity, LGBTQ+, environmental issues/climate change, school settings, and mental health.

This year, I'm focusing on growing my #nonfiction list. I'd love to work on popular science, social science, and food books. Voicey writing. Think Mary Roach, Adam Grant. Climate, space, the ocean, biology. Mental health, personality science. Cookbooks! Chemistry of cooking #MSWL

✨Character driven Cli-fi or Science Fantasy based on locales where colonization & socioeconomic disparities have caused or compounded the effects of climate change.
✨Reimaginings of classics from different cultural perspectives like WHAT SOULS ARE MADE OF by Tasha Suri
#MSWL

Really enjoyed #DontLookUp and would love to see more #YA and #MG submissions with creative plots that can bring attention to the climate crisis. Books can be so powerful. This is just one of many personal and professional goals for #2022 on my #MSWL ! 🤞💚🌲

when I reopen to queries, I'm hoping to see a lot more nonfiction! investigative journalism, cookbooks, self-help, climate/environment, + anything that makes a niche subject accessible to a broad audience
#MSWL

I'm not open to queries until next year but while I'm thinking about it, I love books that deal with a future shaped by climate change. WANT by @cindypon and THE ONES WE'RE MEANT TO FIND by @joanhewrites are two of my favorites #mswl

Non-fiction wise, I love an in-depth examination of an issue that we're currently dealing with (EMPIRE OF PAIN is a perfect example). A fresh take on the climate crisis that I wish I had found myself is WARMTH.

PB:

-The ocean (I love dolphins & beluga whales!)

-Climate change, recycling, etc.

-The outdoors (e.g. camping/hiking)

-Sharing experiences of kids from nonwhite/non-Western cultures and backgrounds

-Tackling serious topics like grief for young readers

ADULT SCI-FI

🌪️Stories set in the near future, dealing with the climate emergency (think THIS FRAGILE EARTH)

🌷 Strong romantic subplots!

👩‍👩‍👧‍👦Strong family bonds!

🌌SPACE! Spaceships!

in light of certain climate news this is a reminder that I want to see more survival books (fiction and nonfiction) #mswl

"A few themes that I’m looking for in terms of nonfiction include: Privacy; Big Tech vs. Government; Flexibility, Climate Change, and Infrastructure. Bonus points if you’re conveying an original idea through a counterintuitive angle." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Working on projects that communicate cutting edge science in exciting ways. He’d love to see projects on psychology, astronomy, biology, ecology, and climate. Think: Adam Grant, The End of Everything or Finding the Mother Tree. #mwl (4/4)

⟡ #MSWL Climate Fantasy that comps SWEETH TOOTH (Netflix)

⟡ Period Alt-London Fantasy that comps PEAKY BLINDERS or HARLOTS with magic, or THE NEVERS or CARNIVAL ROW

#MSWL any book exploring the relationship of food and climate

If you have building-utopia-in-apocalypse stories (although I'd prefer climate apocalypse to zombie), #MSWL.

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