Today, we have a thoughtful guest post on diversity in historical romance. ow.ly/mjEt309PQnZ

Whoever is writing that historical romance with Indian protags in Regency or Victorian England can send it to me please and thank you. #mswl

You know what I'd like? A Sherlock-style mystery set in, like, India or Thailand or Morocco, with loads of atmosphere. #mswl

Always looking for NF like Tony Horwitz or Buck’s THE OREGON TRAIL. Bonus pts if it has a lit angle such as THE WILDER LIFE. #mswl

· 1 Mar 2017

Always looking for narrative NF exploring material culture. Think Lutz's THE BRONTE CABINET or Johnson's LIVES IN RUINS. #mswl

I'd love to see a #romance or #WomensFiction set during the Great Depression, or against the backdrop of the Dust Bowl. #mswl

A historical romance NOT set in the Regency or Victorian era. As much as I love them, let's explore some other time periods! #mswl

Food writing, especially that which looks at the merging of food cultures or explores forgotten aspects, histories, etc. #mswl

Narrative NF focusing on badass women from history. Think Ricca's MRS SHERLOCK HOLMES or Jaher's THE WITCH OF LIME STREET. #mswl

Will tweet this until the end of my days: still looking for historical w/ edge of psych thriller. Think Austen meets Gone Girl. #mswl

I still want this. Civil War or Rev War, and very much grounded in reality. More magical realism than fantasy. #mswl twitter.com/wensday95/stat…

Still a big #mswl want.
