P.S. When I say I'm looking for historical fiction from little-known times and places, I mean it. World War II? Roman Empire? Western Europe? Nope, nope, and nope.
How about Africa or Polynesia? Far Eastern or South American countries pre-colonization or Western contact? #MSWL

Multi POV, time slip or dual past/present narrative structure women’s fiction, historical, domestic suspense, or upmarket like THE ALICE NETWORK, THE SUBWAY GIRLS. #mswl

Historical romance with diverse heroes/heroines. I want to know about the Regency peeps of African/Indian/Jewish (&more!) descent. #MSWLWhat she said! Regency romances with diversity - bonus points for settings outside of England. #MSWL

Historical novels where plot & setting have to work together i.e. NIGHTINGALE, ARCADIA, GIRL YOU LEFT BEHIND. I’m not interested in writers using historical to tell me how much research they’ve done. I want a very plotty historical. Beatriz Williams-esque. #mswl

So excited for #MSWL Day today! Here’s a thread of things that I would love to see in my inbox, outside of my general submission interests. For any #amwriting #amquerying authors out there who may think their manuscript matches one of these, please feel free to use my MSWL link.#MSWL I’d love to see a historical dark fantasy that revolves around the 70s Glam Rock scene...basically Velvet Goldmine meets Picture of Dorian Gray.

The Hate You Give (Angie Thomas) meets Joan of Arc. Historical fiction based on real young women kicking ass and taking names #mswl

#MSWL Historical Fiction in YA! I'm so in love with Ruby from Cold Mountain. I love her voice and if you could put that into a YA Gunslinger Girl in Colonial times, I'd be so in love. <3

Also, I've started watching Reign, and I hate to admit it but I really miss court intrigue and historical YA. 😭 But can I get Greer's story being in love with the cook instead of Mary, Queen of Scots royalty like story? Greer is definitely my favorite romance. #MSWL

Something #TeamNat shares, regardless of their chose form, is a willingness to work, be pushed beyond their comfort zones, to experiment, to play, and to remember that we aren't doing easy things, but that is why we are gonna be legendary. (subtle reference to team song 🤓)And if you have made it this far in my fan girling, you might have noticed that the genres I DON'T HAVE. Which is why I am looking for:
-Graphic Novels
-Nonfiction
-Historical Fiction
-Magical Realism
In addition to my fantasy and contemporary list. #MSWL
