"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible.What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

My head is swirling around random thoughts today, but you know what I’d love to see in my inbox???? A sarcastic and wonderful holiday book: nonfiction—cooking book or DIY decorations and their meanings (love learning about traditions) or fiction—YA rom-com. #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

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

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/

- 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
