Happening June 24 – 26th! The Historical Novel Society Conference presents a Panel Discussion, “Fact in Fiction: Bringing Long Lost Worlds to Life.” With bestselling authors Jodi Daynard, Jane Healey, Thelma Adams, and Joy Jordan-Lake.
In this panel, we will discuss how as historical novelists we gather, choose, and incorporate the facts we include in our fictional worlds. How do we cull these facts? Which ones do we consider sacred, and which are we willing to bend a little (or a lot?) How does one include historical information without overwhelming the story? Four bestselling American historical novelists weight in on their personal practices and pet peeves, and offer practical tips on how to work with historical fac ts in every area of a narrative.
