October 22, 2023: Seminar on Writing Historical Non- Fiction
Quebec Writers’ Federation - First come, first served. Limited to 12 people
Writing original and entertaining non-fiction is hard enough.
But when you set about writing historical non-fiction about true events and real characters that happened many years, decades or even centuries ago, your challenges only increase. You cannot interview your main characters, they are long dead. Archives may be hard to access or expensive. How do you bring to life your locations and scenes and make them accessible and understandable to the modern-day reader?
This all-day workshop with best-selling author and journalist Julian Sher takes you through the steps to make your next project a success – or at least achievable.
