Historical fiction combines the
events of the past with characters and stories from the writer’s imagination.
This course examines the art of
writing of historical fiction and the need to fully immerse yourself in a
particular time period to make your storytelling more believable. Learn how to
write effective, authentic and appealing historical fiction and how to turn
your ideas into compelling stories. Understand what defines historical fiction
and different historical time periods, create believable settings and plausible
characters and learn how research plays a crucial role in the creation of your
novel.
The course involves assignments,
discussions, and writing exercises, and also deals with aspects of the writing
process. The course also examines ways to research publishing houses where you
can submit your work, cover letters, synopses and sample chapters.
All course
materials, assignments, feedback, and assessments are sent to
students by email. Group discussions will take place throughout the course
depending on the number of students that are registered.
