Want to try your hand at writing stories set in the past? This workshop explores historical fiction, where real events and places are blended with invented characters and actions.
Marie Louise Cornelius is an author, theatre and film director, actor and audiobook narrator, known for the feel-good series Hjerteblink and the multi-generational family saga Bag facaden af Glas. She will guide you through using research to make your story convincing without drowning in detail, and through the challenges of writing about real people compared with inventing your own characters in a historical setting. The session alternates short talks with practical writing exercises, and you can test your ideas and get inspiration from fellow participants. No previous experience with historical fiction is needed.
