Writing historical fiction requires extensive research on historical figures, settings, customs, etc., and decisions regarding dramatic license vs. adhering strictly to the historical record, while fantasy has its own rules regarding logic and consistency. Author Linda C. McCabe will discuss the craft of balancing the needs of historical fiction with drama and fantasy.
