Historical Fiction

• Marginalized individuals (e.g., POC, women, queer people, disabled people, ethnic/religious minorities) who find ways to survive and thrive despite systemic oppression. Note: I’m seeking writers who are from the group they’re writing about

• Stories set in ethnic enclaves and neighborhoods richly steeped in history

• Hidden histories and anything that either is set in a time or place that isn’t well-represented in U.S. fiction or focuses on a community that has often been overlooked if it’s a time/place that’s familiar in U.S. fiction

• Sumptuously detailed settings

​

Not seeking

• The colonial and Civil War eras in the U.S.

• Viking Age

• I'm usually not the right person for stories set in medieval Britain, Ireland, France, and Germany
