So my #MSWL would be a book where one of the characters have a chronic illness (like diabetes) but not where the plot is all about them having the illness. It’s just a character trait & sometimes you have to deal with it but mostly you just live & love & have GMC unrelated to it.

Happy 14 years of being a type 1 diabetic to me!!! With my agency's recent relaunch, I guess it's a good time to note I'd love to see some manuscripts with type 1 diabetic protagonists - or chronic illness, disability, neurodiversity rep in general. #mswl

"As for weirdly specific things I'm looking for... I'm dying to find a great book about a cult or a survivalist or a plague... maybe all of them in one?" @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I want to read romcom versions of all of these because they’re too cute! 😍 #MSWL

#MSWL You've Got Mail but instead of emails it's a meet-cute in the comments section on the bear cam

I so agree with this. It does need to be special. The market is super-competitive. But stand-out YA will find a home. Send me your YA love stories and unreliable narrators! :-) #scbwichat #mswl

#A6 PB: texts with a strong narrative arc, whether funny or lyrical, and a clear theme that young children can relate to. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 Illustrators: so hard to define what you’re looking for here! But a portfolio full of animal and child characters in a distinctive, consistent style is always exciting to see. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 Non-fiction: I’d love to find an expert in a fascinating field, who can write with passion and real (age appropriate) depth of knowledge to bring their subject to life for young readers. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 YA: Send me your funny YA, rom coms, thrillers and big fantasies. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 I love a strong voice, so if you can write a protagonist with a really intriguing, fun and distinctive voice, please, please send your ms my way! #SCBWIchat #mswl

#A6 I’d love to find an exciting MG mystery/detective story, especially if it’s funny too! I’m also always on the lookout for great YA with an unreliable narrator or an intense and overwhelming love story. #SCBWIchat #mswl

#A6 MG: I’m on the lookout for big characters, funny voices and magical worlds. Possibly eco themes. Definitely animals. Always surprises along the way! Stories with universal appeal. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 Young fiction: funny character-driven series ideas that tap into children’s real life hopes, fears and obsessions. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

I'd love to see more mixed media novels like Illuminae, Sadie, and Rules for Vanishing. #mswl

Really hoping for some SF that goes beyond, "Oh look, bad aliens. Let's shoot them!" #MSWL

Feeling those early Halloween vibes and realizing how much I would LOVE to see something reminiscent of WIDE SARGASSO SEA but from Tituba's POV during the Salem witch trials #mswl

Hi this is a dream project. #mswl for YA with this mood

I love novels that feature: therapy, cooking, stage magic, queer women, horoscopes and tarot, good dogs that don't die, holidays that go wrong. #mswl

I'm looking for regional crime, particularly set in Yorkshire, Scotland or Ireland, particularly with a female slant #mswl
