Taylor seeks young adult fiction, historical fiction and historical romance.  Taylor especially wants historical fantasy and historical fiction with great female characters, dual contemporary/historical narratives, family secrets, or anything with a unique perspective on a major historical figure or event);  YA fantasy, and smart, funny, contemporary realistic YAs; novels with a unique settings.

“I love anything with a gothic feel, and am a sucker for gorgeous international settings,” Taylor says. “I also have a soft spot for unreliable narrators and books with interesting, non-linear structures.
