Terri McIntyre: to YoungWriters

Creating Reader Trust

Posted on February 11, 2010 with 0 comments

Even fiction needs to be realistic. When we write about realistic people or events, writers need to make sure we've done our homework. Look it up! Here are some of the resources I studied and applied to Stronghold. The first list shows the topics as I looked for and found them. The second list shows some of them in bibliography form, which is useful if you're looking for specific authors or book titles, etc.
