Setting a whole novel in the past is quite a challenge. So, if you are interested in trying historical fiction, join this short story class.
In this workshop, you’ll learn about short story structure and explore ways to start writing a story set in the past, inspired by a particular period of history that interests you, or by a family history you know about.
This is suitable for writers at all levels. Please come with a historical period or event in mind or some information about a family story that interests you.
Tutor: Sally O’Reilly is a historical-fiction writer. Her most recent book is Hagtale: A Macbeth Origin Story, and her work in progress is a counter-factual story set in the Elizabethan era.
The Writers Workshop is a nonprofit social enterprise based in Sheffield on a mission to spread the joy and power of creative writing. Members get the cheapest tickets available and a range of other benefits. For more information: www.thewritersworkshop.co.uk/join
