π Historical fiction from before the year 1900, especially from BIPOC perspectives; and also, specifically, queer historical fiction set in under-examined moments of the 20th century #MSWL

Some specific things I would love to see in my inbox:
π‘οΈ YA fantasy with sharp teeth that takes no prisoners and makes no apologies
π Dramatic historical romance/fantasy romance with Phantom of the Opera/Moulin Rouge/Great Comet ambience #MSWL
Editor
... a broad range of MG & YA fiction and graphic novels--fantasy (my first & greatest love as a reader), historical, romance, some great humor, and high-concept contemporary (especially with a framing device such as epistolary elements, then-and-now timelines, etc.) #MSWL
Editor
In the middle of @CatSWrites's new book and deeply wishing for YA historical romance to become More Of A Thing. Agents, if you've got one coming up, send it my way! #mswl

7) An outrageously, wryly funny historical romp or rom-com.
Editor
4.2) Historical or contemporary fantasy with a sharp, fresh, feminist twist on old folklore. Looking for my Holly Black or YA Alix Harrow π
Editor
Oddly specific Halloween #mswl: in the mood for... a YA ghost romance? π€ Some kind of historical or time-travel shenanigans a plus but not required.
Editor
Would also still love some fun, swashbuckly, queer/feminist/all of the above YA historical fiction (with or without magic) #MSWL
Editor
Fun, flirty, feminist, queer historical fiction! Think A GENTLEMANβS GUIDE TO VICE & VIRTUE. #mswl
Editor
Wry, smart, disruptive historical YA (+/- fantasy)! Think GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE and MY LADY JANE. #MSWL
Editor
Seriously craving some historical MG & YA. Bonus points if it's a less commonly depicted time/place! (i.e. outside WWII Europe) #mswl
