In honor of the horrible excuse for a human who posted on my community FB page about a “sex club” at the local middle school- her post including a photo of an adorable, hand-made flier for the gay pride club, please send me your queer MG stories. Let’s get ‘em published. #MSWL

what's one Taylor Swift song you could build a whole novel around?mine is delicate
I could do a whole #MSWL on this (MG or YA only please!) so here goes:
-Enchanted. Takes place in one night. Intense romance
- The last great American dynasty. Gimme the outsider protag who kinda relishes screwing up high society
- anything with ONLY THE YOUNG energy

So this is really specific, but if anyone has a project they'd pitch as Jurassic Park but in Space (MG or YA), I MUST HAVE IT. It'd be sweet if they're actually dinos, (WHY are their dinos in space? I don't know) but I'd take aliens or something else. #MSWL

Hey Literary Twitter, lend me your mind: tell me your favorite books that have centered houses and/or trains. Is there a book where a house is the narrator or the structural link? A book where a train is the literary star? Interpret however you wish. The wilder, the better.Oooh this made me realize I’ve never done an #MSWL for MG or YA with an unusual narrator!

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.![](https://abs.twimg.com/sticky/default_profile_images/default_profile_bigger.png)

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

I love Survival stories, so if anyone writes an extreme version of the Fyre festival I want to see it! (YA or MG) #mswl

MG Or YA-- survival stories. Lost at sea, snowed in, etc. Think real world, not apocalyptic. #MSWL

In MG, I enjoy tween girl stories-- fun and breezy with a great voice. #MSWL

#MSWL: MG that includes solving puzzles or clues, turns into grand adventure.
