Tips For Writing Historical Fiction [#1]

The Twelve Caesars

Today I feel like giving away some of my tips for writing historical fiction. Note, my views on the matter are subjective. I have always had an interest in history and historical fiction, but I was always hard-pressed to find good pieces of work. Although, to be honest, I have many librarian friends and they have a hard time finding me any book I will like. I am rather picky. Anyways, onward to the main course.

  1. Historical Fiction does not have to a difficult read. – You can write it in a semi-modern day voice.

But I find some books with a glossary may just want to lean into a more immersive experience.
