Discovering the World of Historical Fiction
The 2025 Historical Novel Society Conference, running from June 26 to 28, promises a vibrant experience for writers and readers alike. It marks a significant gathering in the historical fiction community, celebrating narratives rooted in real past events. Authors like Bernard Cornwell and Diana Gabaldon will lend their voices, ensuring an enriching program that blends storytelling with scholarly insights.
From Devon to the Bright Lights of Las Vegas
As a dedicated attendee from Exeter, the transition from the tranquil location of Dartington Estate—steeped in medieval charm—to the glamorous Caesars Palace in Las Vegas is striking. Each city brings its own unique flavor to the conference, influencing the discussions and networking opportunities. This year’s decision to host the event in Las Vegas highlights the duality of historical storytelling—balancing the grandeur of history with modern interpretations.

Alongside major authors, emerging writers like Edie Cay and Ana Brazil bring diverse perspectives to the event. Edie’s insights into historical romance, particularly set during the Regency and Victorian eras, will resonate with fans of gentle yet captivating narratives. On the other hand, Ana's mysteries featuring ambitious female protagonists reflect a growing trend in historical fiction—stories centered around complex, strong women.
