Graphic & hybrid novels & series are welcome too! Some examples there from my past titles would be DORK DIARIES and THE OKAY WITCH. Quintessential MG stories about finding your way through the labyrinth of family, school, & friendship twists and turns.

As promised, here’s a little more info about my #mswl for Labyrinth Road! (Thread)First & foremost—epic, accessible, *character-driven* MG fantasy & adventure series! I’m excited to build series that could sit well alongside my previous projects like KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES, STORY THIEVES, THE UNWANTEDS, FABLEHAVEN.

This year I’ve started and become obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy (yes, I know, only this year.) AND it’s got me longing to acquire some new romances for #HarlequinMedical 1/2 pic.twitter.com/wvDE1B8l41Please please help feed my obsession. I’m particularly interested in submissions from authors from underrepresented communities. #editorobsession #MSWL 2/2

I read DEAR SWEET PEA last week and fell in love—it was the perfect balm for the stress. I would love to see more MG that balances a sweet and funny voice with more serious themes, and any submissions that could be comped to SWEET PEA! #MSWL

Per NPR guidance to reporters: Kamala Harris is NOT first POC VP. Charles Curtis, Hoover’s VP, was member of Kaw Nation.OMG #MSWL from a member of the Kaw Nation YESTERDAY

The “Something Else” vote that helped turn Arizona blue. So many grassroots organizers mobilized the Navajo vote in Arizona. Here is Allie Young leading folks to the polls on horseback as our polling locations can be miles away from homes pic.twitter.com/sKWOBZid4iagents, consider this HIGH on my #MSWL:

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

Though I’ve made an effort to change that over the last several years, I can’t buy what isn’t being published. I hope after reading this column, you’ll join me in asking publishers for more cookbooks from more diverse places, written by the people from those places.On the same wavelength--give me a narrative that ties food with memoir. Or! A novel! That ties food! With story! More like Mistress of Spices, The Particular Sadness... Pardon the pun, but I'm ravenous #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/T9lym5FQoLcan 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

Thao Le @AgentThao
I would love to get some more adult romcoms that have the high concept hooks and diversity that's been happening in YA romcoms! My adult list is still very bare and I'd love to flesh it out more with some new writers and projects. #mswlSame! #MSWL (agented only, so send to Thao first! 😉)

Loving all the West Wing-inspired rom com deals lately!! Please know I accept any & all thinly-veiled Sam/Ainsley fan fic #MSWL

Tiffany Shelton 👻🧟♀️🌙🎃🔮 @TiffanyDiahann
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! #MSWLAlso adding Colson Whitehead and Ta-Nehisi Coates to this wish list. #MSWL
