hyper specific #MSWL : an alternate history of the Galapagos Baroness from her POV

Fantasy is my first love, but I'd really like to see more diverse fantasy drawing from underrepresented voices/myths/folklore/worlds, etc. I'd love to see some historical fiction/fantasy/alternate history! Gothic/Horror! Spies! Heists!

in terms of GENRES and NARRATIVES, I love:

- historical, particularly 19th and 20th century and particularly focused on international, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ stories
- alternate history
- dark academia
- horror and gothic
- character-led literary fiction

I have been flying (pun intended🚀) through episodes of For All Mankind and would love to see a book in a similar vein - speculative/alternate history about the widespread societal ramifications of one small change to the timeline #mswl

*UPDATED #MSWL* I made a lot of changes to what I'm looking for, so check out the link and send me your queries!

#MSWL cont’d
. . . Alt. history (from a marginalized or unusual perspective; with an alternate outcome—e.g. THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE; introduces SFF element to a historical event—e.g. LEVIATHAN @ScottWesterfeld, but for the adult market)

Alternate history focusing on sociopolitical issues (even Roman á clef). Think FATHERLAND by Robert Harris. #MSWL

Please please send me an alternative history re-telling, particularly with a sort of fantastical twist. #MSWL

Yes! Yes! Yes! #MSWL

I'm a fan of fantasy, but specifically would LOVE to see more contemporary fantasy right now. Looking for something that is just fun to read--the perfect escape. Also would be open to alternate historical fantasy. #YA #MSWL

For years I’ve been wanting alternate history where North and/or South America, Africa, etc., conquered and colonized Europe instead of other way around. I’ve pondered it but can’t quite visualize the full scope of the differences. I’d love to see how writers envision it. #MSWL

I smell an #alternatehistory novel! In 1916 there was a proposed Amendment to US Constitution to put all acts of war to a national vote, & anyone voting yes would have to register as a volunteer for service in US Army huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/04/ame… #MSWL #WritingPrompt #StoryStarter

"Magical Realism, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Alternative History, Historical Fiction." @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

An alternate history with incredible worldbuilding like @jessica_shea's BORN WICKED series. Still one of my favorite reads this decade #MSWL

First, nope.
Second, #MSWL: Alt-history family saga where Lucius Lamar supported Reconstruction & Tilden won in 1876 twitter.com/ajplus/status/…
