(Still) watching the Prince of Egypt and man I would be deeply down for some of the cool-ass Old Testament stuff like the story of Esther, Judith beheading Holofernes, a romance with David and Jonathan... retold as commercial YA #mswl

Yes, please. Always on the hunt for this. Especially early college. I had one of the worst friendship breakups my freshman year with someone who had been my BFF throughout HS. It’s been 18 years (lolololol) and I still think of it. #MSWL

I would love to find a teen girl super spy/action adventure. Something that can be pitched as Kim Possible meets Kingsman. Or in the vein of Kiki Strike (which I haven’t read, admittedly). #MSWL

"I'd love a spooky Middle Grade series." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

Completely obsessed with WOMEN'S WORK by @Megankstack --- well written, timely, engrossing. Hoping that an equally brilliant nonfiction proposal from this #WritingCommunity will make its way to my inbox. #MSWL #amreading

Oooh yes #mswl

#mswl

I say I want a dark YA mystery, but I’ve never been able to pinpoint exactly what I want. Well, now I know. Read Two Can Keep A Secret by @writerkmc. Because that was awesome. And totally the kind of book I’m looking for. #MSWL

SEND ME YOUR FRIENDSHIP BREAKUP BOOKS. Middle school, high school, even (dare I say) early college! In my own life, friendship breakups have always been so much more significant/traumatic than the romantic ones. Would love to see it in my inbox! #MSWL

Well looks like I don’t have to watch #TheMagicians now. Someone send me a comparable book that’s queer and doesn’t bury the gays #MSWL

Still getting the occasional DM asking if I'm open to queries... and I am! :-D

Here's what I'm looking for:

Most genres of YA.
Genre blending literary fiction.
Accessible sci-fi and fantasy.
Memoir and essay collections.
Cookbooks.
You?

Query me! ericsmithrocks.com/mswl #MSWL

Sneak peak of my Research of Writing in YA/MG Fiction webinar. (When I say I’m looking for manuscripts that’ll teach me stuff, I’m on this level #MSWL)

Happening on Thursday night! Join me: dakotas.scbwi.org/events/using-r…

This is more of Manuscript Do Not Wishlist, but I'd really like to stop seeing such dark MG and YA in my inbox. Could use some light hearted and happy ending books coming my way. #MSWL

"Domestic Suspense like ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN and THE PERFECT NANNY." @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

They’re popping up in my query inbox so time for this gentle, gentle reminder: no vampires plz. #MSWL #antiMSWL

Marie Laveau’s story #mswl

I have recently fallen into the black hole of Wedding Shaming, and holy hell I want this book so bad. #MSWL
