47 Historical Fiction Publishers

Historical fiction is a tried-and-true genre that spans the test of time.

There’s always great demand for a good historical novel. Even though historical fiction is not a “hot” genre like young adult or paranormal romance, there’s still a very large market of readers for the genre, and there are always good publishing deals to be had for the best historical novelists.

Writing a great historical fiction novel often requires extensive research into the history of the time period, culture of that time, and important events of the time. Because historical fiction requires so much research, you should make sure you’ve double checked your research before submitting your historical novel to a literary agent or publisher.

If you submit a historical novel to a literary agent or publisher without solid fact checking, there’s a good chance your submission will get rejected.
