Legacy & Lore: Writing Historical Fiction Through The Ages
Some stories are too big for the present.
Master the art of writing the past with heart, depth, and unshakeable confidence. Historical fiction is a desire to reach back through the centuries and find the universal threads that connect us all.
Whether you're navigating the political paranoia of a Tudor court or the quiet, stifled whispers of a Victorian parlor, your story deserves to feel as vivid, urgent, and human as the present day.
In this six-week journey, we move beyond the costumes of history and go deep into the six most iconic eras of storytelling to help you find the emotional pulse of your project.
We will be spending each two-hour session on a different era, including:
- Ancient World: Egypt, Greece, Rome
- Medieval and Early Middle Ages
- Tudor & Renaissance
- Georgian, Regency, & Enlightenment
- Victorian & Industrial Age
- WWI, WWII, and Interwar
AutoCrit Pro Members will get a bonus session covering Historical Romance.
