Welcome to Perspectives

 “Perspectives” is a monthly online journal whose goal is twofold: first, to provide new and emerging writers a format to present their works of historical fiction; and second to provide all readers, both those who enjoy history and those who have yet to discover historical writing,  access to material that may pique their interest in historical characters or periods, especially those which may have been obscured or overlooked by mainstream understanding and study of history.

 For an introduction to this online journal, see the JUNE entry listed in the column to the right Perspectives: An Introduction for Readers and Writers.

For writers, Submission Guidelines can be found under the JUNE entry of the same name.

For a Table of Contents, see the JULY entry (noted in the column to your immediate right).

Perspectives readers include readers who are already fond of historical fiction; readers who read a variety of genres but who may not have read much historical fiction; new readers who have yet to discover the joy of historical fiction; readers who were not well-taught and who sadly believe that they ‘hate’ history.

        

Perspectives writers are creative people who seek to express themselves by inserting their characters into situations and eras from bygone eras. They are writers who are capable of making the era itself serve as both a literary device and as a character of the story. They are writers who address the complexities of human interaction against the backdrop of human history. ”Perspectives” particularly welcomes new, unpublished authors to submit material for publication.
