As much as we love historical fiction, we’re not the biggest fans of war-centric books (for instance World War I and World War II stories aren’t the best fit for us, but between the World Wars is A-okay).
Our tastes tend to skew toward the commercial rather than the literary. We also love small corners of history that not many non-historians know about, so if your book covers new ground in YA in a Western or non-Western setting, we want to see it, too! As a general guideline, we’re interested in pretty much anything set pre-1970 (and into the ‘80s and ‘90s, although some don’t consider that historical quite yet).
Jennieke’s book is a historical set in Georgian England and she’s a self-professed Anglophile, so please send us all the UK set historicals! Do you have a YA version of Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily series or Jennifer Donnelly’s Tea Rose series? We want it. It’s a deep and longstanding passion for both of us. We can’t begin to tell you how much we LOVE historical fiction. For otherworld fantasies, we enjoy books with detailed, thought-provoking world-building, like Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Kathy MacMillan’s Sword and Verse. As a team, we’re especially drawn to fantasy that has some kind of root in the real world, like Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, or Stardust. Tobie has spent the last four years writing all about mermaids, so she is ALL about fantasy.
