The Historical Novel Society is a literary society devoted to promoting the enjoyment of historical fiction. This website is dedicated to the North American region of the society and the bi-annual North American Historical Novel Society Conference.

The Historical Novel Society welcomes readers and writers from all around the world. If you're not already a member of the Historical Novel Society, you should be! Find out how to join the Society by visiting the main HNS website.

You don't have to be a member to attend any of our conferences, but there are excellent benefits to membership, including book reviews and a quarterly publication with interviews and articles. You can also join a local HNS chapter and connect with other historical fiction devotees in person.

In North America, there are local HNS Chapters in:

• Arizona
• Upstate New York
• New York City
• Pacific Northwest
• Los Angeles
