2. Fantasy involving ghosts, witches, etc. Vampires are ok but they need to be human-friendly like ADOW. (I *adore* ADOW!). Historical fantasy like ADDIE LARUE. With historical fiction, I prefer pre-20th century.

Historical Fiction • romance, war & conflict (e.g. Palestinian), Open to ancient to near modern time periods

Non-fiction • some Islamic history, memoirs (esp. reverts to Islam)

Dystopian • overreacting govts, secret societies, collapse, revolution, apocalyptic (esp w/ religious themes)

Romance • any of the above, historical, contemporary, enemies to lovers, childhood sweethearts, love triangles, no explicit content, would love halal

I'm finally open to submissions again: My #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/julie-crisp/ Super excited to see what comes in! 🥳🥳

I'd also love to see #ownvoices Latin-America-inspired mythological fantasy. It could be contemporary, historical, or a fresh retelling.

Anything featuring my favourite animal gets bonus attention.

Would love a pirate romantasy or a historical with pirates involved. Bonus points if the pirate is a female protagonist #mswl

Hello authors & artists~I'm fortunate to work with some very talented individuals. They've made my life better through their stories & art. I love #kidlit & so, for several days this month, I'm opening to queries @StormLiterary Read details & #MSWL here:

#mswl would love to see a historical fiction or historical mystery during the 1880s-1930s. I’ve been watching a lot of Belgravia and The Gilded Age

My bookshelf is 50% character-driven sff/speculative/spooky, 50% realistic contemporary/historical (coming-of-age romance, mystery/thriller, action-adventure, and verse novels), mostly by BIPOC, queer, or traditionally underrepresented folks, & my taste very much reflects that.

#MSWL Agents, I've been seeing some fantastic YA sff subs. I'll never say no to sff that captures my heart, but I'm also on the lookout for gorgeously written verse/prose, layered coming-of-age (historical or contemp) esp if it weaves in queer romance and/or mystery/suspense.

very specific wants: yokai! pls pls pls! & I'm still looking for my very special YA Japanese historical fantasy

I have a soft spot for HISTORICAL FANTASIES, whether real or imagined & particularly if they have a healthy dose of romance in there i.e. Regency Faerie Tales. I do love learning about a new culture or period of history, so assume I am casting this net very far & wide! #mswl

YA: coming of age romance like Last Night at the Telegraph Club or Ari & Dante w/gorgeous prose; coming of gender; atmospheric gothic (like The Handmaiden); historical/nf; mystery/thrillers like Firekeeper's Daughter or Patron Saints of Nothing; character-driven speculative. 4/6

"Seeking 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!)"

Adult Fantasy

Villains being truly and genuinely villainous, romance at the forefront but politics at the core, family dynasties, high stakes adventure, historical dramas, highly aesthetic spaces, thoughtfully done ensemble casts with series potential. Give me more Fourth Wing

Twitter is doomed, but I’m so excited to share my #MSWL !! Agents — would love to connect. More info here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/claire-cheek/

20th century European glamour is always a draw, but I'd really, really love an historical novel set outside the periods and places we see over and over.

I'm still hungry for historical! On that front: I can't stop thinking about GREAT CIRCLE, which I waited a criminally long time to read. I'm desperate for an epic family novel told across timelines and generations.
