Now Open! Member-only Content Area

History Through Fiction is proud to announce the publication of five historical fiction short stories and one novel excerpt available only in our new Member-only Content Area. 

In addition to publishing compelling historical novels based on real events and people, available in print and ebook, History Through Fiction will now publish historical fiction short stories and novel excerpts, available digitally. In mid-February, HTF opened submissions to short stories and novel excerpts and has since received scores of unique, well-written stories submitted by independent authors from across the world. Author’s whose work is accepted for publication are paid a flat-rate $25 honorarium in exchange for first-rights to publish their work—meaning their work is original and exclusive to HTF for a minimum of thirty days. Stories are published in HTF’s new Member Area and are only accessible to readers who sign-up for a free membership. HTF is committed to publishing one new story or novel excerpt on the first of each month, but hopes to increase its member-only content in the future.
