Just spent part of a check-in call gushing with an editor about how much we would love to collaborate on a project about the present/future of accessibility in a COVID-affected world by a disabled and/or chronically ill author. If this is you... #MSWL #CripLit

Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks

Watching my little non communicative boy use a PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) board to interact is such a joy filled miracle.

❤️

Also an annual reminder that I’m desperate for more books that celebrate neurodiversity in my query box.

If I’m not making books for kids like him, I’m failing at this job. #MSWL

I know this is super vague but I want to read a young adult manuscript that engages with that weird feeling of nostalgia you get before your life has even really changed. #mswl

Alex Borbolla @Alex_Borbolla

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/

Susan Hawk @susanhawk

- I don’t see many projects set in the Caribbean, Central and South America, South and Southeast Asia, or in African nations, and would love to.
- I’m a big fan of historical mysteries, historical with a speculative or magical realism element, and alternate history.

If you’re writing about a time or place I haven’t mentioned, please try me anyway, there’s so much I’m fascinated by. #MSWL

Time for a #MSWL update! When it comes to genre, I’m omnivorous. In #MG and #YA, I’m especially hungry for:

High-concept genre elements combined with literary writing and an exploration of timeless themes.

Genre mash-ups! Give me that...

I've really been craving romcoms, #amquerying friends, of all shapes and sizes. #MSWL

katemessner @KateMessner

I'm part of the @diversebooks mentorship program this year, and I just read a new draft from my mentee that blew me away. It's #ownvoices MG NF and is so engaging and cinematic that I wish I could magic this book into existence for you right now.

I am FOREVER looking for a well-researched YA or MG based on a historical tragedy (earthquakes, ship sinking, volcano, chicago fire, etc). #MSWL #AskECLA

Linda -pro witch, anti pumpkin spice- Epstein @LindaEpstein

Right now, I'm very eager for realistic contemporary fiction in both YA and MG. As I just tweeted, I'd love it if it's funny and queer. Hit a home run if it's by a #BIPOC author. (Sorry for the sports metaphor. I don't even like sports.) #askECLA

Replying to @LindaEpstein

I am here for this but not apologizing for the sports metaphor because I LOVE sports, so points if it's sports related. #MSWL #askECLA

Mandy Hubbard @MandyHubbard

I would LOVE more genre-blendy high concept projects, whether magical realism, SFF, time travel, etc. Also love reimaginings/retellings/flipping any fairy tale on it's head. MG and YA. #AskECLA #MSWL

So much this...#MSWL

Mandy Hubbard @MandyHubbard

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.

My list is getting a bit YA fantasy heavy. I would love to see more MG fantasy/horror, YA contemporary, and MG and YA graphic novels. #MSWL.

I’m a bit late to the conversation but: THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT, y’all! I’m as obsessed with it as my 16-year-old self once was with the musical, Chess. This kind of elegant, cerebral-to-the-point-of-the-almost-fantastical, setting-rich, character-driven storytelling is my fave. #MSWL
