Just write a historical novel, they say. It’ll be fun, they say. But what no one tells you is how much information you’ll collect, or how to organize it so you can find it when you need it. This workshop will provide step-by-step examples of methods and tools to help the aspiring historical novelist avoid being overwhelmed so they can focus on what really matters: the story.
This class takes place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre in Calgary.
