Join novelists Barbara Erskine and Katherine Stansfield to explore the fascinating world of historical fiction from a writer's perspective. Over two days of practical workshops, you will discuss the relationship between myth, legend and history, mining the imaginative potential of lives lived in the margins of history, the over-looked or the unknown, or famous names with other stories to tell. Learn about research strategies, creating compelling characters of the past, and the alchemy of turning historical material into rich stories.
