Short Story and Novel Excerpt Submissions - Open Year-round (One story published monthly beginning May 1, 2022)
History Through Fiction is now accepting historical fiction short story and novel excerpt submissions that, if accepted, will be published in the member-only content area of our website (launching May 1). Stories and excerpts must be previously unpublished and should be between 1,000 and 8,000 words long. HTF prefers stories that are based on real historical events and/or people. However, all stories with any kind of historical setting will be considered – this includes those with elements of fantasy and alternative history. Stories that are accepted will receive light editing before being scheduled for publication to our member-only content area. We will publish one new story on the first day of each month.
Authors whose work is accepted for publication will receive a $25 honorarium for their work.
History Through Fiction reserves first time rights for publication. This means, once an author’s story is accepted for publication, and a contract is signed, the author cannot publish elsewhere until it has first been published by History Through Fiction and thirty days thereafter.
To submit, please send an email with the subject line Short Story Submission or Novel Excerpt Submission to:
editor@historythroughfiction.com
In the body of your email, please include a word count, a short synopsis or summary, and a short author bio. Please allow up to six weeks for a response to your short story submission.
Due to the quantity of submissions, if your story is rejected, we will not be able to provide any specific feedback. Writers who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ, disabled, neuro-diverse or as a member of other marginalized and traditionally underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to submit their work.
