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

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

#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…

Guys, come on: My tweet hopefully did not indicate that "incest" is on my #mswl. IT IS NOT. #querytip twitter.com/byobrooks/stat…I actually would sign an incest YA, I loved FORBIDDEN. #mswl

@eisen5585 Anything in YA is fine. You can read my sub guidelines or #MSWL for extra insight.

Writers watching #MSWL: When in doubt, just query. That's you saying "hey, interested in my book?" No need to @ agents w/clarifying Qs.Every time I do #MSWL and say something like "I'd love a YA thriller" and get "What if there's a ghost in it?" or similar. Just query!
