Post 1750s Historical Fiction AwardThe Goethe Book Awards recognize emerging new talent and outstanding works in post-1750s Historical Fiction.  The Goethe Book Awards is a division of the Chanticleer International Book Awards (The CIBAs).

The Goethe Book Awards competition is named for Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who was born at the dawn of the new era of enlightenment on August 28, 1749.

Chanticleer International Book Awards is looking for the best books featuring Late Period Historical Fiction. Regency, Victorian, 18th Century, 19th Century, 20th Century, World and other wars before the 20th century, history of non-western cultures, set after the 1750s, we will put them to the test and choose the best among them.

The other three Historical Fiction Genres are the Laramie Awards for Americana Fiction, the Chaucer Awards for Early Historical Fiction, and the Hemingway Awards for 20th c. Wartime Fiction.

These titles have moved forward in the judging rounds from the 2023 Goethe Late Historical Fiction Semi-Finalists to the 2023 Goethe Book Awards FINALISTS.  All FINALISTS will be announced and recognized at the Chanticleer Authors Conference (CAC24).
