New historical fiction imprint looking for writers

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I only just saw it on the historical novels blog

The U.K. publisher Pen & Sword Books tells me they are "interested in launching a historical fiction imprint and are currently on the look out for new authors." Pen & Sword is an established publisher of military history, but recently extended their interests to include general history, family history, transport, true crime, nostalgia and collectables. For the new historical fiction imprint, they will be considering a wide variety of historical fiction with settings ranging from ancient history to modern history.

I've had no personal dealings with Pen & Sword Books (beyond buying from them), but they've been around a while and are considered highly reputable in their current field. You can find their website here. If they really are branching out from military into general historical fiction, that could be very good news.

From the blog:

The contact person for historical fiction is Jonathan Wright. Writers "with a range of experience including first time writers" who would like to submit a historical novel can contact him by email at [email protected].
