The high school I went to was found to have unsafe levels of toxic chemicals so they built a makeshift school in the Macy's in the town's abandoned mall, and I have never seen something more dystopian pic.twitter.com/wSsH4a68C1How fast can someone write me a YA novel with THIS as the high school. Bonus points if the kids take on the charge of getting attention/funding to fix their school. #MSWL

#mswl I don’t know why but I want a YA about that quiet girl who gets “A pleasure to have in class” from every teacher, literally titled A PLEASURE TO HAVE IN CLASS, where it opens with her seeing that report card and then descends into her setting (figurative) fire to everything

Just learned there’s an apartment complex in Seoul specifically for Korean-Americans adoptees to return & connect with their culture/identity and I NEED THIS as an #ownvoices YA novel. Would consider based on sample chapters & work with you to develop it. #MSWL

While we're doing #AskECLA, let's talk about what stuff we're dying to see in our inbox, eh? (@LindaEpstein @GarrettAlwert) I'll start by saying ROMANCE. ALL THE YA ROMANCE. Or hints of romance in MG. Dark and angsty or light and funny, BRING IT.Literary Agent
#MSWL: YA comedic post-apoc survival novel where they assemble a team to survive:
1 to drive a stick shift
1 who can read a map
1 who can read “ancient scripts” (Cursive. I’m talking about cursive)
1 who can use a land line
A “math genius” who can do basic math w/o a calculator.

I would LOVE more #ownvoices Filipino YA or MG (set in the US or the Philippines) in my slush. My SIL is from the Philippines, my niece/nephew are being raised bilingual, I would love to find a gem to champion! #mswl

@MandyHubbard Yes, I should do my best to prepare for my new gig. Maybe I can write old sea shanties.Sea shanties sound highly commercial and therefore profitable. Yessss, I shall add them to my #mswl, I see a big hole in the market. 🤣

#MSWL A YA featuring a teen entrepreneur who runs a business like this one-- a man who allows you to "rent" him to fill a role (IE, fake friend/dad/wedding date/etc). theatlantic.com/family/archive…

#MSWL: I would love a scifi YA where--and just hear me out here--someone takes a werewolf and puts it ON the moon, and also puts a vampire on the sun, and somehow this makes sense.

#mswl would love a serious/realistic YA (not tonally like OITNB) set in a juvenile detention center. I’m watching Netflix’s GIRLS INCARCERATED, and crying during every episode. These girls never got a fair shake at life.

#mswl #parkland I work in publishing. I’d be proud to help Shepherd a book (anthology?) of those who want to share their experiences as gun violence survivors in order to push for change and #GunContolNow. Proceeds (incl my commission) could be donated somewhere like @Everytown?

Would love an MG w/something zany and fun, like @curiosityjones debut MG featuring Chickens w/super powers! #MSWL

Would love a YA focused almost entirely around a teen's crappy job a la Empire Records, Adventureland, etc #MSWL

Would LOVE a YA horror in the vein of SCREAM and @naturallysteph's THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE #MSWL
