What You’ll Learn
- Techniques to research efficiently and avoid time-wasting rabbit holes
- Strategies for weaving factual details seamlessly into your narrative (without info dumps!)
- How to determine the right level of accuracy-aiming for plausible and credible, not just accurate
- Methods for using facts (real or created) to enhance character, setting, and plot momentum
- Ways to leverage research discoveries-even unexpected ones (serendipity!)-to enrich your story
Through my practical approach, drawing on examples from my award-winning novels (like the fascinating Meissen vase discovery!) and insights from authors like Lee Child and Joy Fielding, you’ll discover how to move beyond dry exposition. Learn the art of selecting details that resonate, crafting believable worlds (even invented ones!), and using the ‘texture of truth’ to make your stories feel real and urgent.
Perfect for any writer looking for ways to:
- Give their fictional worlds authentic weight and texture
- Make historical settings or technical details believable and engaging

- Inject suspense and urgency using well-placed facts
- Overcome the fear of research or the tendency to get lost in it

Understand when ‘close enough’ is perfect, how to invent credibly when needed, and how to make every detail serve your story’s momentum and emotional impact.
