Aunt Polly was a hot-headed tornado caged by patriarchy, enraged behind every blink of her eye & was smarter than all the murderous Peaky Blinders lumped together. If you've written a Historical Thriller abt a female crime boss that rivals her energy, I want to read it.
#MSWL

getting antsy for our own roaring 20s so in celebration, agents I would love some rebellious historical fiction in my inbox! Things I love:
🔥strong women subverting expectation
🔥1920s- on
🔥anything with the vibe of Taylor Swift’s “The Last Great American Dynasty” #MSWL

I am almost caught up with queries! 😲 In addition to what I have highlighted in my #mswl, I'd love to see more captivating historical fiction as well as gothic fiction. Cozy culinary mysteries too! #HF #GF #amquerying #writingcommunity QueryManager.com/QueryLoriGalvin

#mswl would love a mg or ya fantasy or scifi set in Ethiopia. Or an adult royal romance. Or a historical fantasy romance. Or a biopic related to the royal family.

If you have #historicalfiction about kids and/or teens coming of age at a pivotal moment in history, like in THE GET DOWN, get at me. #mswl

“Generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I have a spot on my list for a fresh, high-concept historical romance series! Print potential for the right book/sales track. Agents, authors…who has a yummy Regency, Highlander, or Viking series for me to devour?#MSWL (see pinned tweet)

There was a Doubleday bookstore in the Barbizon Hotel and I desperately want a historical romance (1930s-50s) set there. #mswl

“YA historical fiction about disco subculture.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I’m particularly interested in a story that explores:

🌀disco’s beginnings in Black and queer communities

🌀 the commercialization and appropriation of the genre as it gained popularity

🌀 the (racist and homophobic foundation of the) anti-disco movement
