Fantasy inspired by historical events & parallel narratives surrounding historical events really pull me in. A/YA/MG #mswl

Very specific: A, YA, or MG about a painter (or apprentice to, or child of) during the 1666 London Fire. Straight HF or hist fantasy #mswl 😍

#MSWLaesthetic Mechanics of creation. "Archaic" passions are intriguing&atmospheric esp w the right voice&narrative. HF, F, WF, A/YA #mswl

#MSWLaesthetic Compelling, emotional Fiddler on the Roof retelling/-inspired #histfic YA/A. What happened to Chava? The family in NYC? #mswl

#MSWLaesthetic Scandinavian-inspired, historically-inspired, tough MC, harsh climate. Setting is huge for me in fantasy! A/YA/MG #mswl

Is #MSWLaesthetic a thing? Because I'd 💛 a contemporary YA/A set out west, in nature, involving camping/hiking/working nat'l parks #MSWL

Stumbling into each other, seat or bag mix-ups, restaurant reservation issues, crowded transits... Send me your A/YA romcoms! #mswl 💕

Specifics 2: YA or A airport/subway/bus stop/train meet-cute or romcom! #mswl (2/2)

In adult and YA: Diversity in my mswl. That simply goes without saying! Smartly written, great voice, compelling narrative. #mswl

In adult: myth/fairytale/folklore-inspired fantasies. UPROOTED, DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST, QUEEN OF BLOOD have rich, fairytale worlds. #mswl

In adult: moral issues in women’s fiction! Picoult is an excellent example, taking taboo/difficult topics & bringing them to light. #mswl

In adult: quirky, fun, authentic romcom chick lit. I'm a sucker for traveling meet-cutes and office romances. #mswl

#mswl please. YA or A.

In adult, I'm still seeking women's fiction, chick-lit, and rich fantasy. #mswl

Send me your funny, heartbreaking, romantic, &/or adventurous YA/A/WF contemp, please! #mswl mswishlist.com/profile/litera… twitter.com/LECrockett/sta…

In YA or A, as straight-up hist fic or hist fantasy or hist-inspired-fantasy, I don't care, I still want it! #mswl twitter.com/LECrockett/sta…

Where's the funny female millennial Attempting to Adult manuscript I'm dying to read? Think Kinsella, Rowell, Weisberger on a budget! #mswl

Interesting narrative structures (epistolary, ONE DAY, "The Last Five Years," etc) that tell a compelling story. YA or A #mswl

Shakespeare retellings (in YA or A, contemp/histfic/fantasy, diversity encouraged) would be an absolute joy to read. #mswl

Closing this wonderful afternoon discussion by redirecting you to this tweet I made a while back... twitter.com/LECrockett/sta… #mswl
