Are you enjoying the Novel Approaches conference? Do you wish to write novels or a history yourself? If you answered yes to those questions then please read on.
The IHR are planning on running a one-day workshop in April next year on using historical resources for writing historical fiction. This is not a creative writing course – that is not where our expertise lie – this is a workshop designed to explain what historical resources there are both online and in archives/libraries and to help you to make the most of them.
We plan to include:
- Guest expert speakers
- Guidance on finding and using resources on themes including costume; transport; location; and material culture
- IHR library tour
