Writing Workshop: Historical Fiction

About WorkshopDo you want to start writing historical fiction? At this writing workshop, author Harald Voetmann will track you through presentations and writing exercises, where hopefully you will get inspiration to open up your writing. Perhaps you already have a time period in mind that you would like to write about, but it may also be that you just want ideas to get started. Everyone is welcome, regardless of writing experience.
