of $5,000 targetyrs ago
Successful on 22nd Dec 2014 at 2:35AM.
HNSA will hold its inaugural conference on 20-22 March 2015 at the historic Balmain Town Hall, Sydney. This initiative will create a community for the historical fiction genre by providing a forum for aspiring, emerging and established authors, historians, industry professionals, and fans of the genre to enjoy a weekend of talks, panels, debate and interaction about historical fiction. The HNSA conference will become a regular calendar event attracting attendance by international as well as Australasian members and fans of the genre on a bi-annual basis.
The conference’s theme of ‘Peace and War’ coincides with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign. The programme will contain general, academic and cinematic streams. We also plan to hold a debate between historical novelists and historians discussing the validity of research in historical fiction. Leichhardt Council is supporting the initiative. The esteemed novelist, Kate Forsyth, has agreed to act as the HNSA’s patron. The participating author list includes Kate Forsyth, Colin Falconer, Toni Jordan, Sulari Gentill, Deborah Challinor, Peter Corris, Felicity Pulman, Isolde Martyn, Nicole Alexander, Natalie Grueninger, Craig Cliff, Posie Graeme-Evans, Belinda Murrell, Elisabeth Storrs and Jesse Blackadder and many more.
Our exciting two day program can be accessed via this LINK.
Those donating $30 will go into a draw to win a free copy of one of the historical novels from the following authors.
Nicole Alexander: The Great Plains
Toni Jordan: Nine Days
Isolde Martyn: The Golden Widows

How The Funds Will Be Used
Our philosophy is that all writers deserve to be paid for their time. Help us ensure our keynote speaker and presenters are monetarily rewarded for appearing at the HNSA conference.
The Challenges
This is HNSA’s inaugural conference. We have the encouragement and co-operation of wonderful authors who are keen to reach readers and inform other writers. Our challenge is to provide a forum where they can do this without relying entirely on their generosity. Help us make a noise about historical fiction!
Loose change
Thank you for your support. You are wonderful for helping us achieving our goals!

Kim Kelly
This Red Earth "This Red Earth is as much a love letter to the country, with all its beauty and terror, as it is an intimate portrait of love itself". The Blue Mile "Set against the spectacular backdrop of Sydney Harbour, The Blue Mile is a tale of both the wild and calculated gambles a city took to build a wonder of the world, and of the marvellous risks some people are willing to take for the love of a lifetime".
