Hell yes, #mswl

Invisible chronic conditions: I want to see characters w diabetes, epilepsy, other auto-immune diseases, where the condition is part of their identity, but not the whole of it. I want to see their joy more than their struggles, but I don't want it to be tokenized either. #mswl 7/

Historical Fantasy with a diverse bent and lots of magic. Like say a story about a bruja/o/x traveling transatlantically and owning all of Europe. #mswl 6/

A F/F sports romance. I'm shipping Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird, so if you have a story you'd comp to their story, please send it my way. Or you can comp it to Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris. Doesn’t have to be soccer either. #mswl 5/

In contemporary romance I’m especially hungry for a story where gender expectations are subverted, so something like a celebrity with a female bodyguard or a prince who is saved by a princess (ahem, Harry and Meghan anyone?). #mswl 4/

My full #mswl can be found at evascalzo.com/mswl, but here are a few highlights: Stories from marginalized voices that focus on the joy. I’m a fan of the HEA. Issues books have their place on the bookshelf, but that’s not my wheelhouse. 3/

Reminder: I represent Adult Romance and SFF and across all genres of Young Adult fiction. I do not represent literary fiction, poetry, screenplays, or nonfiction—not even narrative nonfiction or whatever autofiction is (something I've seen recently in queries). #mswl 2/

QUERY UPDATE: Hi everyone, I'm fully re-opening to queries tomorrow, September 1st, and am so looking forward to seeing your projects. My #MSWL can be found here: evascalzo.com/mswl

This but the witch is a #Latinx bruja and is basically out to #own Europe. #mswl

Listen, anyone who knows me, knows that I am all about the joy! QPOC definitely have earned their joy, send me those stories! I am open to them right now!! #mswl

There are so many reasons relationships don’t work out. Adding nuance to the ex/backstory can add depth and real emotional stakes to the potential conflicts your MCs face. #mswl

Diverse authors will still be able to submit queries using the special link. This is why I am only *partially* closing. My #MSWL has been updated on my website: evascalzo.com/mswl 3/3

Mara and I are totally looking for the same things!! (We literally had a hangout this week chatting about this!) Más Latinx por favor. Hoy y siempre. #mswl

The Trouble with Harry could be a comp. Hitchcock film w a romance subplot and a dead body. It’s so funny!! One of my fave Hitchcock films tbh I would #mswl

I was diagnosed in 1994, and The Babysitters’ Club was the only reason I knew what diabetes was too. I still want a YA with type I diabetes rep. #mswl

#RomBkLove 2020 Day 27: Bodyguard romances. Ah, a trope I always enjoy. Two recent reads are Pop Star by Eden Finley and Royally Endowed by Emma Chase. I feel like there was a gender swapped one I really enjoyed but if there isn’t, then I’d like to #MSWL that 😂

#MSWL (it doesn’t have to be bc of a quarantine, tbh I prefer it not be)

#MSWL you guys. I want stories of people helping each other out during the hardest of times and finding love and friendship and hope in the face of trauma. Bonus points if it takes place in PR.

(I reopen to queries Feb 1st)

Often the most bonkers stories that I would have never come up with to #mswl in a million years are the ones I want to rep the most. So, like, listen to @AngelinaMLo.
