Save the Date — HNS 2027
Join us in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 17-19, 2027, at the elegant Omni William Penn Hotel for the next gathering of the Historical Novel Society.
We will be hosted in the beautifully restored Omni William Penn Hotel, a storied landmark in downtown Pittsburgh. Opened in 1916 and now a member of Historic Hotels of America, the William Penn boasts nearly 600 guest rooms (including suites), 38 meeting rooms, and over 52,000 square feet of event space — ideal for sessions, workshops, and social programming. With its grand architecture, classic touches, and modern amenities, it promises to be an inspiring setting for our conference.
