Spoke to an editor this morning and reminded myself how much I want a historical in MG, YA, or Adult about a gun-toting, foul mouthed, self-sufficient woman like Ruby from Cold Mountain. Any country or continent or sexuality or skin color. I’m tired of petticoats. #MSWL

I'm acquiring for Love Inspired, Love Inspired Suspense, Love Inspired Trade, and a limited inspirational historical romance program. I'm particularly interested in adding AOC to my list. My DMs are open for any questions or pitches from Black authors. #mswl

MG or YA historical fiction. #MSWL

Also, I'm acquiring for the new LI Trade program, which will publish inspirational books in these genres: Romantic Suspense, Historical Fiction, Historical Romance, Women’s Fiction and Amish Fiction. I'd love to see agented submissions for this from BIPOC authors #mswl

I'd love to see some inspirational historical romance manuscripts from BIPOC authors. You can check our guidelines and submit here: harlequin.submittable.com/submit/161372/… #mswl

Most Wanted #MSWL for me currently:

Inspirational Romantic Suspense 55k words for Love Inspired Suspense 80-100K for Love Inspired Trade.

Inspirational Historical Romance 70k words and 80-100k words.

If you have one & want feedback on an idea you can fit in a tweet, I'm here

I'd love to see more inspirational historical romances in my inbox! #mswl

I'm constantly catching up on queries (which have gone up 200% since the pandemic hit). One category I'd love to see more of are graphic novels for kids and teens. Contemporary/fantasy/historical. Always diverse voices! Especially if an author/illustrator. #MSWL

- Funny and sweet contemporary coming-of-age stories

#mswl Seeking historical fiction and non fiction on past pandemic outbreaks

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

Someone write a historical about this woman and then SEND IT TO ME!!! #MSWL

Example: scriptwriter of Nightmare before Xmas was dating man who was Jack's singing voice. Showed him script, he hated it, she gave to studio anyway, they loved it.

Would love to see a WF of a woman w/perseverance and finding success despite that sort of obstacle #mswl
