Do you want to write historical fiction that is evocative, immersive and convincing? How do you balance telling a historical narrative and your own original story at the same time? In this session, award-winning historical fiction author Naomi Wood will show you how, guiding you through questions of accuracy, exposition and description, helping you write more engaging scenes and identifying the telling details that make your characters come to life. With a combination of writing exercises and discussion via the chatbox, and sharing writing by the finest in the genre, Naomi will give you the tools to write historical fiction that really sings.

"Arvon at Home creates a model to participate in inspirational tutoring for writers, at a distance. The feeling of attending to my writing life in an excellent fashion, and still having a half-day for my work and caring responsibilities at home, felt like a good balance."

"It was an absolutely brilliant session and very very useful. And it made me realise how much I’ve missed this kind of workshop because of having children and family that I can’t leave. Now we’re all in the same boat the online stuff is truly transformative."
