"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."

More historical fic please! I'll take it all but would love more of the Roaring 20s, WWII, and the Swinging 60s in South/Central America & Europe settings. Open to #HR although I will warn that the genre is tough atm. But one day it could circle back so don't want to miss out on any new voices here

3. In adult novels: women’s, literary, historical, and book club fiction. Give me fresh premises, people being badass in real/believable settings, and anything that helps me see real life in a new way.

I would LOVE to see a royal, historical romance. Think Mary, Queen of Scots in Reign--I want THAT. Let's forego the traumatic ending (iykyk), but I'd love to see those elements within a novel. #MSWL

I'd also like grounded fantasy or magical realism, sci fi, dystopian, paranormal, and select romance. Additionally, I'm seeking contemporary, coming-of-age stories with characters from low-income families and historical fiction featuring historically underrepresented identities.

A few things I’d love to see in my query inbox:

1. A dark, gritty pirate story (historical or fantasy)
2. Stories featuring protagonists who have been underestimated by society
3. Stories with an unlikeable female protagonist
