Just write a historical novel, they say. It’ll be fun, they say. But no one warns you about how much information you’ll collect. How will you find what you need when you need it? This workshop will provide step-by-step examples of methods and tools to help the aspiring historical novelist get organized, avoid feeling overwhelmed, and focus on what really matters: the story.
This class takes place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre in Calgary.
Anna Shannon (she/her) is a writer and editor living in Calgary, Alberta on Treaty 7 land. She has publications in Bellingham Review, The Coachella Review, The Existère Journal of Arts and Literature, and others.
