Historical Fantasy Workshop by Autocrit
History books tell us Washington crossed the Delaware… but what if he had a weather mage at his side?
What if Celtic warrior queen Boudicca’s efforts to destroy Camulodunum were aided by wild magic… or even necromancy?
Fun thoughts, right?
Historical Fantasy is a pretty darn cool genre – but the best kind doesn’t just drop magic into our past. Instead, it weaves the fantastical so seamlessly with real events that it leaves you wondering whether it could have actually happened.
And that’s exactly the skill you’ll master in Autocrit’s upcoming Historical Fantasy Writing Workshop with USA Today bestselling author Kat Campbell!
Join Kat starting this Saturday, April 12th, and explore:
- Expert research techniques for finding historical sources and details – for a foundation of authenticity that makes your fantasy elements believable, while setting your work apart from writers who rely solely on Wikipedia and pop culture references.
- Methods for developing characters who truly belong to their time period – so you can skip the common pitfall of writing modern minds in period costumes, or crafting characters that feel like they just stepped out of Middle-earth and into the middle of the French Revolution.
- The delicate art of blending real events with magical elements – allowing you to create alternate histories that feel both fresh and credible, so you have both the tools and the skills to craft stories that stand out in this competitive yet passionate market.
All this, and more, is up for grabs during this exclusive two-part online workshop.
