WANT: historical romance that explores the rise of a new profession or a unique hobby and puts a new spin on a traditional genre #MSWL

I'd also love to see historical fantasy (which is hard because you have to world build AND do tons of research, I know) about very specific times and places that aren't England during medieval times.

My mood has declared that spring is for historical fiction and I can’t argue with the mood.

Agents, come talk to me about all your book clubby historical fiction because I need to acquire some stories of badass women doing badass things, the season has spoken #MSWL

tbh ... a historical fiction intrigue novel that has the vibes and grit and tragedy of Brel's Dans Le Port D'Amsterdam ... I want it #mswl

For adult, I would love to see some gorgeous sweeping historical fiction, something to make me laugh out loud, original, high-concept crime/thrillers and cosy crime, and those all-consuming love stories you just have to tell all your friends about💙

#MSWL someone I 💜 & his brother grew up in Miami & would escape on their little outboard motor boat into the ocean to fish or scuba dive. When life at homes not perfect, the ocean's a great escape. Give me historical 1960s Miami, two brothers, the ocean. Realistic or fantasy...

just want more dark academia storylines tbh ... more Secret History, murdery, lush and twisty stories set against the backdrop of stifling academia, bonus points if it's historical (1940s or 60s would be fascinating, pls) ty and good night #mswl

"Compelling historical YA like The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf." @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Adult:
- RomComs think Get a Life, Chloe Brown or By Any Other Name (heat value can be low to steamy).
- Historical Romance not set in Regency Era. Bonus points if features BIPOC or Queer main characters.
- Hard SciFi in the vein of Hail Mary or All Systems Red.
(1/6) #mswl

Would I be foolish to specifically ask for non-Regency 18th century historical romance in my #mswl?

BookFriends!

Here's another #MSWL tweet.

From @AgentJessicaA:

"I’d love to find some historical romance to complement my Bridgerton marathon. Something like THE LADY’S GUIDE TO CELESTIAL MECHANICS or THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY SCOUNDRELS. Bonus points for queer characters."

This 🧵. This is what I've been saying to every agent I've spoken to about the historical fiction I want to see in my inbox. #MSWL

Please more BIPOC and Trans voices, from anywhere in the world! #MSWL

Oh hi #mswl

#mswl yes please

It’s also fun to discover and explore lesser-known historical gems that blossom into fiction (yes, this is a Kaitlyn Greenidge stan account) (5/8)
