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

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

I will forever want more survival stories-- Hatchet was one of my faves growing up, I loved THE RAFT, OBLIVION ROAD, FIVE TOTAL STRANGERS, etc. If they're snowed in, stranded at sea, stuck in a desert, I want to read it. MG & YA. #MSWL #AskECLA

I LOVE anything that plays with formats. Diaries, letters, infographics, etc. YA & MG. #MSWL

As a farm girl I'm also down for ALLLL your 4-H, FFA, cows, chickens, horses, goats, pigs, and beyond. I love that childhood kid + pet combo (in MG especially but would like a more teen/equestrian combo as well for YA!) #MSWL #AskECLA

I would LOVE anything with "found families" or unconventional families, MG or YA. #MSWL #AskECLA #askAgent #Amquerying

Oooh this made me realize I’ve never done an #MSWL for MG or YA with an unusual narrator!

I am FOREVER looking for a well-researched YA or MG based on a historical tragedy (earthquakes, ship sinking, volcano, chicago fire, etc). #MSWL #AskECLA

I would LOVE more genre-blendy high concept projects, whether magical realism, SFF, time travel, etc. Also love reimaginings/retellings/flipping any fairy tale on it's head. MG and YA. #AskECLA #MSWL

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

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

Would LOVE more submissions of MG / YA / Romance #ownvoices novels with non-white characters! #WeNeedDiverseBooks #MSWL

Well now I just want an MG about two entrepreneurial girls in a Slime-selling turf war. #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.
