Join acclaimed author Guinevere Glafurd for an immersive, practical session on the art of research for fiction. Drawing on her own experience writing richly detailed historical and literary novels, Guinevere will show you how deep research doesn't constrain your creativity; it unlocks it.
You'll discover how to find the telling detail that brings a scene to life, how to handle the gaps where the record falls silent, and how to weave your research invisibly into your prose so it never reads like a textbook.
Presented in partnership with Gold Dust Writer Mentoring.
