If you love historical fiction, please JOIN the society today. You won't be sorry. 'I've just read Solander - it's a triumph!' - Bernard Cornwell. |
This year the Historical Novel Society is introducing an international short-fiction competition open to all writers in the Historical genre. The competition is intended to encourage the development of the Short History genre and to enable the publication of new writers of historical fiction in the short-story format. The Historical Short-Fiction Prize competition is very straightforward: Entries are invited for original short stories on an historical theme. Each one will be read and assessed by a panel of judges, and the top 10 stories will appear in the Short Histories Anthology to be published by Fish Publishing in early 2006. Judges for this competition are Barbara Erskine, Michel Faber, and Rose Doyle. The author of the story adjudged to be the best from all the entries received will be awarded a prize of £2,000, and their entry will appear as the title piece to the Anthology. All other authors whose stories feature in the 2005 Anthology will receive an award of £250.
