For those of you who enjoy history, you probably enjoy historical fiction. Even if you're not a history guru you probably have read a book or two that was within that genre and liked it. It is a popular genre and it retells some of the best stories of all time.

A few of us have noticed that historical fiction isn't one of the more popular genres when it comes to YWS, though. Some of us have decided to try and spark a revival. To gather those who love history and writing and form a strong historical fiction community. I know there are people on here who love history. Wouldn't it be fun to get together with other writers for write-ins and contests?

If you're interested, check out the club, or message me (@ChieRynn), @LeutnantSchweinehund, or @GodfreysBouillon.

To be honest my my book is like a twisted history from the past and most events are so close to what happened before. So I'm quite surprised to see this.

Twisted History? Sounds interesting!
I'll for sure check it out, and if I feel its my area of expertise, I'll give it a good review.

Awesome idea!! I've never written a historical novel before but I enjoy reading them :)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Ask a Therapist!
I want to beta read your novel!


Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Seriously. My PM box is always open <3
