In kidlit: I would love to see invisible chronic conditions in the #kidlit space. Stories should center on joy, but representation is so vital for this age category. Kids grappling with new diagnoses or figuring out how to navigate old ones in the face of growing up. #mswl

In fantasy: Anything with a fairy tale at the root of the story is fair game but also any retelling of a classic story is my jam. From Shakespeare to Spielberg, I love stories that take familiar characters and upends their world and everything we thought we knew about them. #mswl

In mystery: My tastes here are pretty specific. To go back to my old friend, Taylor Swift, say you have a story that would comp to “Vigilante Shit” or “no body, no crime” then you’re 100% in my wheelhouse. #mswl

In romance: All the grumpy-sunshine tropes. Seriously ALL OF THEM. If your couple comps to Roy-Keeley or Roy-Ted or whatever the f/f version of that would be, please send it to me. #mswl

It's #MSWLDay and I'm late to the party...but I've been in meetings ALL day, and hadn't had a chance to update my profile on the updated site. But I just did it and here is my link: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/eva-…

I'll thread some highlights here too...#mswl

I realize #IWSGPit and #KidLitPit were yesterday and today but I didn’t have time to scroll the feeds. But #WritingCommunity my #mswl is freshly updated and I am open to queries so please shoot your shot if you think we’re a fit! evascalzo.com/mswl

OBSESSED!! More Puerto Rico set stories. It’s my forever #mswl

For the afternoon crowd, I refreshed my #mswl and threaded a couple of highlights below. Not huge changes, but I did add a genre and tweaked what I was looking for in another.

Across categories: A perennial ask, but #Latinx stories from #Latinx creators! Especially from authors of Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban descent. #mswl

Adult Romance: High concept stories that are just shy of bonkers are always my jam. If you have to caveat an idea with “wait, but hear me out” it’s likely that I will be interested in seeing more. #mswl

YA/MG: Kids with chronic conditions, especially invisible ones, grappling with new diagnoses or figuring out how to navigate old ones in the face of growing up and gaining more responsibility for self-care is a space that has room for growth in this category. #mswl

Adult Mystery: My tastes here are pretty specific. If you've listened to my old friend, @taylorswift13, say you have a story that would comp to “Vigilante Shit” or “no body, no crime” then you’re 100% in my wheelhouse. #mswl

Adult Romance: Romance that sweeps me off my feet. Heroes who love hard and fast and true. I ADORE a good HE FALLS FIRST story. I also love it when HE TRIES TO SAVE HER BUT SHE SAVED HERSELF FIRST. #mswl

Across categories/genres: #LGBTQ stories of all flavors, any retelling “but make it gay” is pretty much would be something I want to read always. #mswl

We're halfway through January and I finally had the time to give my #mswl a long-overdue facelift.
I'll thread some highlights below, but as a reminder, this is not all-encompassing. This is meant to give you a sense of my taste and what tends to appeal.
