I loved THE BIRD & THE BLADE, now I’m reading Elizabeth Bear (RANGE OF GHOSTS) for the first time—and I think what I’m loving most about these fantasies: Khan. Great Khan, Genghis Khan, Mongol Empire, Song Dynasty, Silk Road, history across the steppes & China—I want it. #mswlIf you have a historical, fantasy, or historical fantasy manuscript in adult or YA that fits this era and/or setting, or is inspired by this era and/or setting, please send to me! I want more non-Euro stories like this. #mswl

I’m focusing a lot in Adult as well—women’s fiction, fantasy, and historical. With WF I want to see upmarket book club fiction (ELEANOR OLIPHANT) and romcoms (MEET CUTE). I want lyrical, historically-inspired fantasy (EMPIRE OF SAND, Juliet Marillier, anything witches). #mswl

#MSWL fantasy w/ a translator protag. There's so much power in language-- how they translate for a ruler effects a whole kingdom, eg. I want to see the nuances & consequences of deciding how & what to translate, word play between languages, times when translation falls shortYes please. #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 #mswlCurrently listening to THE WEIGHT OF INK, which is about a female Jewish scribe in 1660s London. Talk about specific!
Send send send! 1660s England is FULL of amazing stories just waiting to be told. #mswl

You know what I'd like to see more of in genre fiction?Pre-established romantic relationships.
Like.
The story isn't about "finding love" but about people who are already IN LOVE, who already worked through the shaky beginnings, who are comfortable & stable w/each other
An EXCELLENT thread! #mswl for adult fantasy and hist fic

Holidays won't stop me from actively seeking contemporary, fantasy, & historical in YA/Adult, select MG mystery & fantasy 📚 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur… #mswl

Some readers have requested A/YA epistolary high fantasy. Epistolary is hard to do well even w/o fantasy! Do you have what it takes? ✨#mswl

In YA: histfic is tough, but alt hist/hist fantasy, set during momentous times in history, capture my attention! Think AND I DARKEN #mswlIn YA: high fantasy (NOT urban or contemp) is my cup of tea. Rich world-building, complex characters, feels foreign yet familiar. #mswl

In YA contemp: serious, dark but hopeful, speaks to the depths of human emotion and mentality. Forman, Rowell, Lord, Yoon as examples #mswlIn YA: histfic is tough, but alt hist/hist fantasy, set during momentous times in history, capture my attention! Think AND I DARKEN #mswl
