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.Literary Agent
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.

In YA & MG, I’m being pickier than ever. There are so many great books in this space!! Anything I take on has to really stand out in this competitive market.
If you’re using comps, I want to know how they are alike AND different 🥰🤗

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

I am a voracious fantasy reader. I’m looking for BIPOC fantasies in both, YA and crossover. Give me intrigue, emotional nuance and astounding character arcs. I have always made my home in this genre. Send me some!And I’m still looking for that Latinx fantasy! #MSWL
Yes to this still. Also, give me your anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist angle in these #MSWL

While everyone fights for Three Houses, give me Radiant Dawn.I will write the Micaiah and Sothe story we all need in our lives.
Also, may I suggest Roller Coaster Tycoon and/or Zoo Tycoon, but make it horror. twitter.com/gildedspine/st…
You know, I don't really want to write Roller Coaster Tycoon Horror, but I want to read it, so if you have MG or YA amusement park horror, please send it to me. #mswl.

Me, looking for YA : “I’ve never given much thought to how I would die. But dying in the place of someone I love? Seems like a good way to go.” #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

Still think about how I have not yet received one query for a contemporary YA that's QPOC Sugar & Spice #mswl I want that bitchy sisterhood amongst competitive high school sport/club, wtv.

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.
