SUMMARY:What's Past is Prologue: Writing Historical Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Third Lantern Lit in partnership with New Orleans Writers Workshop \nPanel guests: Elisa Speranza & Allison Alsup \n\n\n\n\nThoughts of penning an historical narrative can overwhelm. Where to begin? How to research? When to stop researching and start writing? \nJoin New Orleans Writers Workshop co-founder and developmental editor Allison Alsup (author of Foreign Seed)\, and book publicity consultant Elisa M. Speranza (author of Triage and The Italian Prisoner) as they share the good\, the bad\, and the ugly  of their journeys writing historical novels. They’ll dive into the most common challenges historical fiction writers face—as well as strategies for overcoming them.\nThis session is designed for new and experienced writers alike as well as curious fans of historical fiction. \nCopies of Allison’s and Elisa’s novels will be available for purchase and signing. \nThis event is free and open to the community. No RSVP required.
