Historical Fiction Contests

Welcome!

The purpose of this account is to promote and support readers and especially writers who love Historical Fiction.

We will be hosting regular contests that encourage Historical Fiction writers to exercise their unique skill sets of research, period language, and good old-fashioned storytelling, and provide readers with new and interesting content in their favorite genre.

Details for each contest will be posted individually. Each moderator is currently running their own set of contests. A note from @theonemarauder on his contest series: "There are two kinds of contests at this time. The first is a "prompted competition" that follows the seasons and holidays. The second is a more open class of competition that revolves around genres."

If you have any questions, you may feel free to message this account, or contact the moderators directly.

A note about content: We would really like this account to be a friendly place for people of all ages. Thus, please refrain from including any sexually mature content in your contest entries. Some of our most cherished classic authors, such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, featured heroes and heroines of incredible moral character who were also engaging and captivating. Let us use their example as our standard and rely on our skills as writers to create interesting characters, not graphic sexual content.

We understand that those writing about periods of time when nations were at war are sometimes required to write about violent situations. We ask that you would also be mindful of our goal to include all ages as part of your approach.

Happy Writing!

Moderators: @theonemarauder and @britainkalai
