How to write historical fiction
Aiming to write historical fiction, begin by selecting a period that intrigues you. Thoroughly research the era, considering social, political, and cultural contexts. Create authentic, relatable characters with depth and design a plot that weaves historical accuracy with creative storytelling. Describe settings vividly and dialogue appropriately for immersion. Edit meticulously, seeking feedback, and polish the manuscript. Finally, choose between traditional or self-publishing, promote vigorously, and engage with your audience to establish a readership.
