Historical fiction research isn’t just dusty textbooks . . . step into the past with our panel as they show how it can include cultural myth, migration, marriage contracts, and metalsmithing. These four published historical fiction authors are pros at resurrecting bygone eras—not just from archives, but from legend, genealogy, archaeology, and in one case, research so deep it led to founding a cookware company.
What you’ll walk away with:
- How to weave together documented history, period specifics, and even folklore for sensory storytelling that brings past eras to vivid life.
- Where to find the resources, obvious and elusive, that anchor a story in authentic detail.

- How to navigate research rabbit holes, editing surprises, and knowing what to leave on the cutting room floor.
