So we can expect a horror film in the next couple of years called Pollstergeist, right? #mswl

Publishing, *please* get some queer YA winter holiday novels ASAP. I am overrun by requests and my answers are sad!

#mswl I’ve been hankering for a cozy, queer holiday YA for so long! End the yearning, agents please send if you have anything that fits the bill 🤞🥺

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/

My #MSWL of the moment can be split into two camps: delightful cottagecore uplit or romcom with perhaps a VERY light magical touch or delightful cottagecore turned haunted horror: Midsommar meets The Invited.

Yes it’s after 5 on a Friday but I finally read this article I’ve had a tab open for all week and would like to say I’d love to see middle grade or YA submissions that fit into the brilliant & brilliantly structured comedy category. #MSWL theguardian.com/culture/2020/o…

(Agented) I really want a YA horror that has larger social commentary at play. Prefer psychological and haunting as opposed to zombies, etc. This has been a dark time of pain and fear and rage, and I want to see that on the page, through horror tropes. #mswl

Why waste time finding mates when you can sex change? Many marine fishes are hermaphrodites. Genicanthus angelfishes are all born female, and live in a harem until one matures into a male. Females don’t change unless the alpha male dies. Hormones baby! #FreshVsSaltyFish pic.twitter.com/T9lym5FQoL

can y'all imagine the harem drama story in this? "our dude has died, who's the next sperm provider" then it's either weird Hunger Games or grumpily drawing straws or elections or something

i'm saying i want the fish people harem drama novella, yes #MSWL

I’m in like full “I need escapism” mode right now (& I’m really privileged to be able to check out sometimes). Desperately need someone to send me a fluffy and lighthearted YA contemp romance. Plot can be anything, as long as it has YEARNING and TENSION🥺 #mswl

Agents, I would love to see more adult subs! I'm looking for upmarket book club fiction. If you have the next Kiley Reid, Raven Leilani, Celeste Ng, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Brit Bennett, Camille Pagán, Asha Lemmie, or any other authors who write in this space, send my way! #MSWL

Oddly specific Halloween #mswl: in the mood for... a YA ghost romance? 🤔 Some kind of historical or time-travel shenanigans a plus but not required.
