Crafting Stories From the Past: A How-To Guide for Writing Historical Fiction
The authors of this guide bring a wealth of wisdom to its pages, divided into three main topics all historical fiction authors grapple with to produce an extraordinary story: research, cultural details, and writing. We have also included an extensive section of helpful resources and references, the very ones we use to write our own novels. You will find books, websites, museum collections, and more.
Although we do not speak in one voice, always agree, or approach research or writing in the same way, we all share a belief in showing the depth and breadth of humanity. We all build historical worlds where our readers can escape the modern and trade today for what might have been. And between us, we own and use hundreds (even thousands) of different writing and research resources as we create our stories.
No matter where you are in your writerly journey, you’ll find something to help develop your craft, add to your research toolbox, and inspire you to think differently about what historical fiction can do and be.
