Writing Characters Into History With Anne Lazurko

Join Anne Lazurko in this interactive historical fiction workshop to learn how to immerse compelling characters into another time and place and make history come alive for the reader.

Part of RPL's Writes of Spring programming series.

Characters and their motivations drive a fictional story forward, and this is no less true in writing Historical Fiction. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to immerse compelling characters into another time and place and make history come alive for the reader. We'll delve into the choices a writer must make between adherence to actual historical events, and the need to give characters the agency to move freely within the fictional story to satisfy the plot and theme.
