Writing a historical novel based on history is challenging. Here are 3 tips when working on your novel:
#1 - Don't Forget Your Protagonist Motivation
We all know the exciting historical event or period inspired you, but don't forget to give a compelling and concrete reason to track the main character.
#2- Showcase Multiple Reactions
A bad writing approach is to only include one side of an argument. Give the audience a nuanced viewpoint with many different points of view.
#3 - Determine Which Facts are Concrete
In your research you may discover facts that are generally not understood to be true by the general audience. Be careful, what people remember or think is true can be hard to shake. When writing fiction, stay on the side of caution in terms of believability even if that means having to be inaccurate at times.
