Historical Fiction Writing: Making Your World Real
What makes historical fiction feel ‘real’? Join Michelle Elvy, a writer and editor from New Zealand, for a beginner’s course in writing historical fiction. You will discuss and participate in exercises with a focus on building historical worlds, including character, setting, mood, place and space. You will also be introduced to works from other writers,read many kinds of historical fiction and share your written stories in class.
The course will cover topics such as establishing character and place, building the world slowly, creating a believable voice, the relationship between the concept of the world and the details that are placed there. The course aims to strengthen your writing by focusing on the play between ‘getting the details right’ and the significant concepts that underpin any world we write.
