Historical
Naomi Davis, literary agent @NaomisLitPix · 1d
Adult historical fantasy (show me a location or pivotal moment in history I've never seen in SFF)
Contemporary YA (show me how powerful& combustible teenage relationships are)
Middle grade sci fi, contemporary, or fantasy (I'm pretty wide open; nothing is off the table!) #mswl

I'm craving THE CITY OF BRASS-style rich and intricate fantasy, with complicated family dynamics, stark political tension, sweeping romance, and hard loss; stories that (respectfully) wed historical inspiration and folklore with unexpected magic and major stakes #MSWL

would also LOVE dark GN with creatures from lesser known legends/cultures
on that note, give me historical GN! Give me time periods in new places with new people and their part in that event. I'd love POC and how they affected certain wars/spy networks/etc. #amagenting #querytip

And @a_cochran says: I’m looking for quality crime/thriller/speculative/SFF (would love a good epic fantasy), literary novels, historical that doesn’t wear its research too heavily, and anything with a strong concept that hooks me from the first page bit.ly/3btDWXS

THE ENGLISH GAMEIf you liked Downton Abbey, you’ll love this new show from creator Julian Fellowes. Here he tackles the story of two footballers on opposite sides of a class divide who forge a bond that helps bring the upper-class sport to the masses in England, circa 1870. pic.twitter.com/oql0eceD1U
I just started watching this and I hereby request a Victorian football romance ⚽️💖 #mswl

#MSWL. Please send me some light, fun reading! Romantic comedies & uplifting women's fiction. Historical fiction set in glamorous locales and a glamorized past like THE GIRL IN WHITE GLOVES or AND THEY CALLED IT CAMELOT.

I was obsessed especially with the early T H I C K books. The later skinny ones didn’t appeal as much (though I still read them). I think the fat ones made me feel like I was reading very adult books. Favorite? Probably Hollywood hopeful Roxanne, set in 1938. pic.twitter.com/jPfhJhJcBnI was obsessed with this entire line. Obsessed! I would love to rep an awesome YA historical romance ala Sunfire! #mswl

“In non-fiction, I want to read about historical funny women, your Lucille Balls and Bea Arthurs. For humor in fiction, think the next Mrs. Maisel.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
Brittany Booker @bookers_32 · Mar 5
#mswl I'm looking for romantic comedies, and slow-burning romances. No non-fiction, historical novels or memoirs. I'm very selective with YA/NA but will take a look if the plot pulls me in!
