Research in Fiction
Writing what you know is a good start, but what about what you don't know? We'll talk about how to enjoy the research rabbit hole without getting overwhelmed and how to use that research to write fiction with authority. This will include generating research questions, finding the best resources, staying organized, and figuring out what to do with the wealth of information you've gathered, bearing in mind different expectations across genres.
Lecture replays are available after the free trial ends. To end your trial early, email brooke@inkedvoices.com .
