Abstract: Let $ {\mathcal{X}}$ be a tame proper Deligne-Mumford stack of the form $ [M/G]$ where $ M$ is a scheme and $ G$ is an algebraic group. We prove that the stack $ {\mathcal{K}} _{g,n}({\mathcal{X}},d)$ of twisted stable maps is a quotient stack and can be embedded into a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack. When $ G$ is finite, we give a more precise construction of $ {\mathcal{K}}_{g,n}( {\mathcal{X}},d)$ using Hilbert schemes and admissible $ G$-covers.
