Who We Are
History Through Fiction is an independent publisher of historical fiction.

About Us
Founded in 2019 by Minnesota Author and Historian Colin Mustful, History Through Fiction is an independent press publishing high quality fiction that is rooted in accurate and detailed historical research. As publishers of historical fiction, we seek to provide readers with compelling narratives that also act as valuable historical resources. Our books, though fictionalized, include important primary and secondary source materials that are disclosed to readers through a variety of traditionally nonfiction elements such as footnotes, endnotes, or a bibliography. This way, readers may enjoy a fictional narrative while also examining the historical foundation upon which that narrative is based. By combining elements of fiction and nonfiction, our authors provide readers with an immersive experience that is both entertaining and educational.

Mission
To address the gap between history and storytelling through well-researched, engaging, and diverse narratives.

Vision
To help readers across the world discover new authors, learn new histories, and become engaged critical thinkers with a knowledge of the past and a broad, culturally relative understanding of the present.

Values
At History Through Fiction we value engagement with the past through well-crafted fiction that is based on real events and people. We believe in promoting, creating, and sharing diverse, authentic, and transparent stories and voices. We represent authors who are committed to conveying the historical elements of their stories directly to their readers. We produce content that is relevant to readers and writers alike, while proliferating history, historical fiction, writing, and reading in a manner that is educational, entertaining, and promotes dialogue about the past and its relevance for us today. We support independent authors, book sellers, and publishers.
