Writing fiction based in fact can be a daunting undertaking. How do you take the people, places, and events of the past and fashion a story that does them proud? How do you honor the facts without losing the truth at the heart of the fiction? Whether you’re writing a story that’s been with you awhile or working on something new, take some time to explore the art of marrying fact with fiction.
