The
wonderful MK Tod from A Writer of History blog conducted a survey of
historical fiction readers last year to ascertain just what readers
exactly love about this genre. The survey uncovered
insights about those who read historical fiction and those who do not -
demographics, story preferences, favourite time periods, reasons for
reading or
not reading this genre, top authors, the different perspectives of men
and
women, sources of recommendations and so on. Here are some of the highlights of the 2012 survey.
The 2013 survey will augment these results with a broader focus
on reading habits as well as social media’s role in enhancing the reading
experience. Survey questions were developed in collaboration with Richard Lee,
Founder of the Historical Novel Society.
Whether you read historical fiction or not, please take a few
minutes to complete the survey. To add to the robustness of data collected,
please pass the survey URL along to men and women of all ages and in any part
of the world you can reach!
Aussie readers were only a small segment of responders last time
so here's your chance to have your say :) I know Mary and Richard would be delighted to hear your opinion.
