While I was out of the office being a child bride, I received 27 submissions--this is all well and good, but only 4 of those were YA! Agents, I'd love to see more teen reads in my inbox ☺️ #mswl

Today marks 4 months since I started at @bloomsburykids! To celebrate, I gave my #mswl a lil refresh. There aren't any drastic changes, but here's some insight into what I'm looking for at the moment: editoralexborbolla.com/mswl/

In a startling turn of events, I have responded to all submissions received through 2021 😱 Agents, my inbox is ready for you!

My extensive #mswl can be found at the link below, but here's a quick snapshot of what I'm hoping to see this year:

Every submission in my inbox is either a picture book or YA--I'm desperate for some middle grade, people! Specifically in the mood for something along the lines Kelly Yang or Rebecca Stead. Agents, please send some my way ☺️ #MSWL

Some good news for the timeline: My responsibilities at work will be changing in the next couple weeks, & I'll be focusing solely on my own list!

If any agents would like to connect (or reconnect!), I'm happy to chat. In the meantime, here is my #MSWL: editoralexborbolla.wordpress.com/mswl/

Anyway, all this to say, if you have a book that has the vibe of Folklore—either now or in the future—give it to me. #mswl

I'm getting lots of YA and picture book submissions lately and would love, love, LOVE to see more middle grade! Agents, check out my #MSWL for what I'm looking for 👇

If any agents have anything remotely comparable to NEVER HAVE I EVER, I want it. #mswl

I would love a MG or YA about life after recovering from illness like ALEXA AND KATIE on Netflix or Barbara Dee’s HALFWAY NORMAL #MSWL

Broaden my horizons--send me something told with a fresh voice and from an unexpected perspective #MSWL

Sibling relationships are weird. I like weird. #MSWL

I'm looking for disability rep across the board--YA! MG! PB! Fiction! Nonfiction! And everything in between! #MSWL

I just...really want a picture book about dogs. Or manatees. Or both. #MSWL

Please send me all the contemporary YA.
ALL.
OF.
IT. #MSWL

Fun fact: (500) Days of Summer is my favorite movie. In honor of its 10th anniversary, send me the YA novel version! #MSWL

Am I months behind on submissions? Yes. Will that prevent me from asking for more? NOPE!

Anyone have a young, funny YA to send my way? Think Meg Cabot with a little heft. #mswl

THIS #mswl

This weekend I:

-watched Someone Great
-finished Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
-caught up on Jane the Virgin

And now I’m just wondering where a girl can get YA versions of every single one of these??#MSWL

I’m in the mood for a thoughtful and emotional yet still funny YA to hit my inbox. #MSWL

Hello agent friends! I made a #MSWL website and forgot to tell you about it. Oops. Take a look and feel free to reach out if you think our tastes align 😃
