Research For Writers: Resources To Help Make Your Story Authentic

Does your novel need some good details to give it some oomph? Are you struggling to be accurate while telling a good story? In this workshop, you’ll learn where to find the information you need to create accurate details in your storytelling. Emphasis will be on historical fiction, but many concepts can be applied across genres.

We’ll explore practical resources such as:
