- I love historical fiction and I love learning about something new! Bonus points if it’s pre 1800s, not white, and has gay stuff

on the romance side of things, i'm widening my #mswl to include historical romance, particularly from/about marginalized prespectives, especially if it's sapphic. think olivia waite, cat sebastian (i esp loved her bisexual disasters novel THE PERFECT CRIMES OF MARIAN HAYES), etc.

WWII gets a lot of love, but we want untold eras and hidden histories. Historical fiction that spotlights overlooked perspectives or extraordinary moments? We’re hooked. 🕰️ #MSWL

Some more random #MSWL wants...

LGBTQIA+ books written by LGBTQIA+ authors, especially in the romance department

Historical fiction with a fun twist from under represented voices of the time

More WF that's actually about women supporting women in healthy ways

Less well known women's sports

Very happy to share my #MSWL , working alongside @ecniumata !

Upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres, including speculative (always enjoy some spookiness!), fantasy/sci-fi, historical, mystery/thriller, etc. (1/10)

as I’m opening to queries in a few days, it’s time for a proper #mswl . I’m looking for YA/adult SFFH and serious trade non-fic in the broad history/sociology space. I’m very keen on the literary end of genre, as well as commercial stories that say something about society. 1/?

I’ve been seeing a LOT of high fantasy in my inbox lately, which is wonderful! But I’d love to balance it with more:

🌖low fantasy
🌗historical fiction
🌘new adult
🌑dark academia

Especially with tropes like slow-burn, forced proximity, ⚔️to♥️, and forbidden love✨

ALSO looking for:
- Historical mysteries with a feminist bent (1920's, late Regency, Victorian era)
--------------------------------------------------
I'm open to submissions! But hurry! Just until 20 Dec, and I'm looking for:

- Adult space: near-future, light scifi that feel like they're set 10 minutes into the future, where there's just one or two elements that are otherworldly. Char-driven & strong pacing a must. No hard SciFi

- Adult space: Horror that is sometimes beautiful with a setting that can feel like a character. No splatterpunk. Deeper psychological themes a plus. Strong pacing & character driven a must.

- Adult space: Contemp light fantasy & magic systems that can be mistaken for just things out of the ordinary happening to happen. Grounded in the real world a must. Strong pacing & char driven only please.

In all of these, deeply emotional/surprisingly beautiful is a plus.

In historical fiction, I'm leaning towards more recent stories - 20th century and beyond. I'm very keen to see underrepresented settings and characters - the kinds of stories we don't usually get to see told.

There's a difference between a "Renaissance-era historical novel with fantasy elements" and a "fantasy novel set in a kingdom inspired by the Italian Renaissance." The first is likely to pique my interest; the second is likely a pass. #MSWL
