WORKSHOP DATES: JULY 12-15
TOPIC: TECHNIQUES FOR HISTORICAL ROMANCE
Do you spend frustrating hours surfing the internet, trying to find exactly what you need for your latest WIP? All too often, writers of historical romance hunt and peck their way through research on a specific topic, when someone else has already done the work. And although you may enjoy delving into fascinating tomes of history or digging up arcane bits of knowledge on the internet, this can turn into an unconscious strategy for avoiding work on your manuscript.
In this workshop, Vanessa Kelly will present effective research techniques for the historical romance writer. Although there will be a focus on researching the Regency-set historical romance, these techniques can be applied to all types of historical romance. The workshop will include a list of internet and library resources.
