Writing historical fiction gives writers a fantastically rich background against which to write. But the old verities of fiction \u2013 character<\/a>, story and prose<\/a> \u2013 remain as important as ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here a few practitioners offer their words of wisdom on how to write historical fiction<\/a> which will feel brilliantly alive \u2013 and wonderfully saleable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips From Emma Darwin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emma Darwin is author of acclaimed literary historical novel The Mathematics of Love<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that you\u2019ve researched your historical facts. That includes manners and morals as well as stage-coaches and corsetry: how people behave in matters of sex or smoking must be as accurate and convincing as how they cook or bet or fight. You\u2019ve kept a sharp eye out for things you didn\u2019t know you had to check: don\u2019t make your medieval peasants eat potatoes, or your Regency heroine tell her fianc\u00e9 to \u2018step on the gas\u2019, and don\u2019t forget that everyone always wears a hat outdoors. You\u2019ve read writing of the period and found a voice for your novel that\u2019s neither incomprehensible, nor twee pastiche, nor crashingly modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then you must leave it all behind, because you\u2019re not writing history, you\u2019re writing fiction, and fiction is all about what you can make the reader believe you know: not what you\u2019ve learnt in a library, but what you know as naturally as you know your own house. The worst writing you\u2019ll ever do is what you write when you\u2019ve got a history book in the other hand. The best is when your characters<\/a> and their points of view<\/a> are so alive to you that of course you write what they see and how they see it, their voices filling that panelled room or smoky alehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all of that must happen without you once letting the reins drop. Your readers want to live and breathe history, but they won\u2019t keep reading if the narrative grinds to a halt on a hill of historical detail. Find it all out, get it right, and then, in a sense, forget what you\u2019ve found and write. You\u2019re telling stories, not histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tips From Susan Opie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Susan has been senior editor at HarperCollins and publisher of Philippa Gregory\u2019s The Other Boleyn Girl<\/em>, among many other works of historical fiction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you embark upon your historical novel, ask yourself: who are you writing for? Not only must you have a clear idea of your potential readership (male, female, crossover, and how literary), but also you should bear in mind the state of the market in this area as well. The publishing<\/a> industry changes, and it has certainly done so in this field within recent memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market demands good fiction, but also looks for a strong sense of authenticity. That\u2019s as applicable to commercial historical novels as it is to the more literary kind. Remember, readers want to come away from the novel feeling that they have been entertained and that they\u2019ve learnt something, as well. They might then go away and discuss the book in reading groups, so it\u2019ll have to stand up to such scrutiny (and the scrutiny of literary agents<\/a>, of course!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest successes in the area have tended to evoke a period we think we know something about, and have then gone on to shine a new light on it, bringing it to life in a fresh way. It might be told through the eyes of a character not directly in the line of historical action, allowing the narrator<\/a> much more freedom to move and to comment. Generally, readers are drawn in by familiar elements (if not the period, then a famous character or setting<\/a>), but not so familiar that they\u2019ve heard it all before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep an eye on what\u2019s come out over the past year or two, also on what\u2019s about to come out. If a particular character, setting or period has featured several times already, why would a literary agent or publisher take on another book of the same kind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you receive an offer of publication, the harsh reality of the industry will mean that your publisher will ask you to produce books in quick succession. That can be hard in this genre; research takes time, and the novels themselves tend not to be short, so you\u2019d better love the period you\u2019ve picked. It\u2019s much easier to write regularly in a period you know well rather than try to change eras with every new book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all that hasn\u2019t put you off \u2013 good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips From Harry Bingham<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Harry is the founder Jericho Writers and author of historical novels Glory Boys<\/em> and The Lieutenant\u2019s Lover<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

First, authors of historical fiction need to write good<\/em> fiction, meaning a strong plot driven by strong characters and prose, but the historical genre does make a difference to the writer, all the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my experience, settings drawn from history give a rich backdrop for novels. Make sure you relish the opportunities you get to use an evocative vocabulary. Pay attention to nouns. Get specific and reach for details that illuminate the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep dialogue modern, with the occasional dip into the vocabulary or grammatical structures of the past. Use of the occasional, now obsolete, slang or idiom can help. One other point, for commercial novelists especially, is that you do need to be careful about the attitudes of your characters. An English gentleman born in the nineteenth century would (almost certainly) have been racist, homophobic by modern standards. You\u2019ll still need the empathy of contemporary readers, so you will need to finesse these issues. On the whole, unless you are portraying villains<\/a>, you should have old-fashioned attitudes tempered by more liberal concerns, even if these never quite wind up winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, enjoy writing. It ought to be pure joy. It certainly has been for me. Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
