Whether you're writing historical or contemporary fiction, thorough research can bring texture and depth to your stories, as well as sparking ideas for brand new ones.
But with all the world’s information at our fingertips, it can be hard to know where to begin or focus our time. What elements of our fiction requires factual accuracy? Where can we find reliable facts? What methods can we use to dig deeper into a topic? How do we incorporate what we’ve learned into our writing without sounding like a textbook?
In this workshop, we will explore and discuss various aspects of research from a fiction writer’s perspective, and use what we’ve learned to craft a new piece of writing.
Tutor: Lauren O'Donoghue is a Yorkshire-based writer, game designer and PhD candidate researching history, identity and belonging in English landscape fiction.
Her short fiction has been featured in Mslexia, Northern Gravy, and Planet Scumm. She is also a freelance workshop facilitator, working with clients including Leeds Trinity University, XR Stories, and Children’s Capital of Culture.
