Historical fiction is a beloved genre that captivates readers by breathing life into the past. It not only educates us about significant historical figures and events, but also stirs deep emotions through its relatable characters. But how does the author share real history while keeping the reader engaged in a fictional narrative? In this enlightening three-part virtual workshop, Colin Mustful, an esteemed author, historian, and the founder of History Through Fiction, teaches writers how to integrate historical details into novels without disrupting the fictional dream. By analyzing his own work and that of established historical novelists, Mustful identifies the elements that make a historical novel effective and engaging. Complete with break-out rooms and direct instructor feedback, How to Write History Through Fiction teaches writers how to combine their knowledge of history with the craft of fiction.
