Getting to Grips with Historical Fiction

Gary Dalkin will chair a panel of authors whose novels range from post-Roman Britain and The War of The Roses, to the English Civil War, early 20th Century Eastern Europe and WW2 in exploring the particular challenges of writing compelling historical fiction.

Derek Birks, Janet Hancock, Louise Morrish, and Steve Cox will explain why they write about the periods they do, take a deep dive into the importance of research and authenticity, including when, if and how to break the rules in favour of telling a good story, and offer their best advice on bringing the past to literary life in this essential discussion.
