Amazing. Y’all I have a beautiful WPA Kentucky pack horse librarian novel about to go on submission, but I’d love to find a historical or WF historical inspired by this! #mswl

There's a lot of overlap here with my own historical romance #mswl. I have been begging for what feels like forever for a Regency centered on South Asian protags. And a 1950s historical romance? *swoons*

I also love a good cross-genre read! SF horror, historical horror, historical thriller...#mswl

For historical fiction, I want a story I haven’t seen a million times. I recently read and adored @KYBookWoman’s Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - something like this! Pack horse librarians AND blue people of KY. I’d never seen these stories! #mswl

First and foremost, #ownvoices! I rep YA and adult: horror, SFF, thrillers/mysteries (not cozies), historical, and general fiction. Also COOKBOOKS! #mswl

Adult Historical Fiction.

Think Kate Quinn or Alice Hoffman -- upmarket book club fiction that brings history to life.

Favorites: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen; THE HUNTRESS by Kate Quinn; THE DOVEKEEPERS by Alice Hoffman; I SHALL BE NEAR TO YOU by Erin Lindsay McCabe #MSWL

“I’m in the mood for some 1920s/1950s upmarket fiction with vivid historical settings.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Historical fiction about interesting trades (e.g. fashion, perfume, baking, get creative!). Think THE GOWN, but open to lighter." @readbystephanie psliterary.com/submissions/ #MSWL

Historical novels both fantasy and realistic—especially overlooked or underrepresented stories in history (though I'm pickier when it comes to 20th century history). Examples of what I'm looking for: DREAD NATION and BLOOD COUNTESS! #MSWL

Very specific #MSWL—a big fat #ownvoices historical fiction about Jacques Francis and the sinking of the Mary Rose

seconding this! #mswl

GIVE ME HISTORICAL FICTION THAT DOES NOT ERASE BLACK PEOPLE OR ANY POC.

I will continue to say that Belle is one of my favorite movies (and yes I did read the nonfic book), and I want fiction like it.

#MSWL

still craving historical mysteries & historical romances with protagonists of colour! #mswl

#MSWL cont’d
. . . Alt. history (from a marginalized or unusual perspective; with an alternate outcome—e.g. THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE; introduces SFF element to a historical event—e.g. LEVIATHAN @ScottWesterfeld, but for the adult market)

And my turn to jump on the @bookendslit #MSWL threat. I, too, would love to see more romance (historical and contemp), women’s fiction, and romcoms. #ownvoices a plus but open to all. I also want cookbooks and true crime!

@bookendslit #mswl thread coming at you. I'd love to see more #ownvoices mystery and historical romance, upmarket / book club fiction, character-driven SF/F and horror, and nonfiction of all types!

OMG. This is great. I need a historical about Cary Grant and Randolph Scott in love. #MSWL

Yippee! My #MSWL is now live. Send me all the things on this list: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kary…
