I wrote a book about a girl who reconnects with her 1st language as a way to reclaim her heritage. Then on my FYP I see many Asian diaspora talking about their experiences with forgotten/lost language. So many people have had this experience & I cant wait for my book to find themI would LOVE to see this book written by an indigenous creator with an indigenous MC. Bonus points for Cherokee or Choctaw Tribes.

Also if you have anything “inspired” by these stories, I’m also open to historical fiction or historical fantasy

I would love a story about the Onna-musha. Female trailblazers of Al-Andalus. The female fighters of Cuba, Algeria, Korea (written by women please)

I’ve decided to open up my #mswl to Non-Fiction. I’m primarily looking for stories that center female revolutionaries/revolutions, anything that tackles themes of anticolonialism or highlights the stories of female leaders/queens/rebels of history. Think Amanirenas or Tomoe Gozen

@esc_key Clearly about 10 years. First a few unpaid internships, and then everyone knows you spend 2 years as an assassination assistant, then assistant assassin, and finally at associate assassin you get your own kills, and then assassin. 😂Now I have a #mswl about a girl with a dream who moves to the big city to live her dream of murder, but finds her company is shady.

I am SO here for all of your demonic adult horror submissions! Especially if there’s a team of demon-hunters to follow…And even more if that team of demon-hunters finds themselves in the middle of a romance…👀

I’m really looking for a historical female-driven warrior epic reminiscent of Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories—always ready to root for the unlikely heroine!

As much as I love the lighter ballroom romances, there’s a special place in my heart for historicals with darker characters and storylines from authors like Lorraine Heath & Kerrigan Byrne

Similarly, I would love to see a Gilded Age Historical Fiction submission exploring witchcraft and female family/friendship relationships—think Practical Magic meets The Social Graces

If you have a sweeping, extravagant historical family saga similar to Downton Abbey or Belgravia, but spanning the generations, send it my way! The drama, the romance, the heartbreak, the opulence—that’s what I’d love to see!

That brings me to Adult Horror*—I’m open as long as it includes:
1. Supernatural/Paranormal element
2. Some lighthearted content – comedy, romance, etc.
I want to be scared, but I need something fun to keep me from putting it down!
*Sci-Fi crossovers are not for me

In Adult Historical Fiction, I'd like to see:
- A pre-WWII, mainly Pre-20th century setting
-Multi-Generational storylines
-Previously underrepresented POVs
- Romantic undertones
- Female driven narratives

My top 2 Adult Romance #MSWL wishes would be:
1. Adventure romance like The Mummy or Romancing the Stone—super steamy & fun, w/ a hint of suspense or the supernatural
2. Contemporary romance series set in a big city w/ a small town vibe—think Friends meets Virgin River
