Free Talk:
The Art of Historical Fiction – How to Write Fact into Fiction

You are invited to a free talk and Q&A session with author, poet, and editor Wendy Chen.

During this talk, Wendy will discuss how to strike balance between fact and fiction, history and myth, when writing historical fiction. She'll also discuss the research process, and how to reconcile the realities of research with the process of storytelling.

Wendy is the author of the historical fiction book Their Divine Fires, published by Hachette, as well as the editor of Figure 1, associate editor-in-chief of Tupelo Quarterly, and prose editor of Tupelo Press.

The talk will air live on Wednesday, September 11th at 1pm ET / 10am PT / 6pm London. Sign up now to join live, or watch the recording on your own time.

By signing up, we will also let you know about future lectures, workshops, and opportunities from The Writer's Workshop at Authors Publish.
