#mswl Actively looking for historical fiction rich with culture (ie: Egyptian, Asian, Indian). I’m talking stories with strong, progressive girls or women that seemed to been born in the wrong time. Time travel is also absolutely accepted.

☑️ Rom-coms with a hook
☑️ Spec (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)

☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)

I simply devoured Nekesa Afia’s “Dead Dead Girls”. If anyone has a historical murder mystery with a queer/BIPOC protagonist in their drawer, send it my way!🥂 #MSWL

Historical time periods that'd be cool to explore well as shows:The golden age of Jewish culture in (Muslim) Spain, Ibn Ezra, invasions, drama, poetry
Yavneh, the birth of Rabbinic Judaism, dealing with the Romans
Babylonian centers of Torah learning, Talmud, demons
Honestly just #MSWL this whole thread

YOUNG ADULT:
- BIPOC rom-coms, friend-coms, and coming-of-age stories not exclusively centered around POC trauma
- Sweeping historical fiction / magical realism, especially stories about non-white history
- Speculative thrillers ala The Thousandth Floor & We Were Liars

Last but certainly not least, Danielle would love to see more historical fiction and fantasy, especially with an LGBT+ emphasis. She's also open to the right non-fiction proposal from authors with an established base! #MSWL #literaryagent #amagenting #writers #WritingCommunity
