Notices
Thank you
As this is the first edition of ‘New This Week’ for the Society of History Writers’ Directory, I wanted to say a big thank you to those who shared this new publication with their readers. Our wonderful start could not have happened without you and I am so so grateful. I have tried to include everyone who restacked a post or Note, but if I’ve missed you say hi in the comments and I’ll edit the post to include you.
Call for submissions
There’s two ways to be featured here: inclusion in the Directory and sending in an article or fiction instalment. The Society is entirely submission-based, so I am always looking for contributors. Everything you need to know about both features is at the links below.
