Writing Historical Fiction

A five day course developing your historical fiction writing with workshops by award-winning novelists Tracey Warr and Natalie Meg Evans. We will consider research for historical fiction, creating your fictional world and characters, plotting, beginnings and endings, language and dialogue. Publisher Richard Willis from Impress Books and the Impress Prize will work with you on proposals and submissions, how to present yourself and your ideas to publishers and agents, and we will discuss the pros and cons of self-publishing. The tutors will share their experiences and tips for developing a writing career and we will spend time focussing on your own manuscripts in progress.

Whether you are just starting out or have a near-finished draft, whichever era you are writing about - from the ancient to the early 20th century, the course will help push your project on in new directions.
