Have you written a non-fiction book that includes the Regency period (1811-1820)?
On 31 May the @regencyhistory newsletter will be a special edition - listing books that subscribers have written.
Both fiction and non-fiction. But right now, we're short on non-fiction.

Great news: our restoration of Soane’s Drawing Office has won @georgiangroup's Architectural Award for Restoration of a Georgian Interior! 🎉
A sleeping beauty, now reinvigorated and open to the public. Thanks to all who made this project possible! 🙌 bit.ly/47d4c5Z 🔍

ALT The south-western corner of the Drawing Office. On the dark wood desk in the foreground, a model from Soane's work at the Bank of England sits in a glass case.
ALT High up on the wall, beneath the skylights on the north-western corner of the Office - an array of decorative architectural casts, in a variety of sizes, mostly with floral detailing.
