Christine Kelly Reads and Writes

I recently updated my MSWL portion of my website and shared a blog post of my MSWL. It mainly touched on fiction, but I want to emphasize my remaining interest in non-fiction.

Focusing in the adult realm, I’d love to see non-fiction in my inbox from BIPOC authors (as currently I am only open to BIPOC authors). I am open to most non-fiction, and here are a few things specifically I’d love to see:

• -Cookbooks surrounding history and culture mixed in with personal anecdotes from the author.
• -There was a great photo journalism project that was pitched during #Pitblk that I still dream about, so please, if you’re that person, send me your work!! OR if you have something similar, send my way!
• -If you have recipes that contain plaintains and it’s authentic to Central/South America, please send.
• -I would love narrative non-fiction in many forms. But since I also work on a winery, words from BIPOC vintners, sommleiers or wine regions in different parts of the world that are under appreciated– SEND THOSE TO ME!
• -I really stray from wellness, but if it is something that helps with mental health and the mental load for mothers, I’m all ears.
• – Additionally, to step off the last niche idea, I’d love to see something about parenting for the parents, about the parents, needed for parents. Like, not a “how to put your baby to sleep.” More so a “this is why you cannot handle your baby not sleeping and how you can be sure to take care of yourself.”
• – I’d love a book that highlights seasonal work and how important it is to agriculture.

Generally thought, I don’t want to limit what is sent my way. I’m always surprised by what I gravitate to and it could be your story. Interested in querying me? Please use QueryManager here (reminder I’m only open to BIPOC authors currently).
