She’s out to get our historical fiction!
Historical fiction has enjoyed an explosion in popularity since the late 2010s, and its rocket to the top of the mainstream reading list shows no signs of slowing down.
Not only is traditional historical fiction experiencing a “golden era” of mainstream interest, but experimental subgenres — like historical romance, historical fantasy, and historical science fiction — are also breaking new ground.
Naturally, a rise in historical fiction readership has coincided with a rise in the number of writers sinking their teeth into the genre. Yet many newbies quickly find themselves overwhelmed with the amount of research required of them.
Historical fiction readers typically won’t know much about the actual history involved in the fiction they’re reading. A few will know a great deal, but most will depend on the author to research the details for them — and also to decide which of those details are relevant to the story. Thus, most historical fiction authors feel compelled to get everything right
Yet, even when you do get every last detail right, down to the color schemes of everybody’s clan tartans, a major issue often remains: historical accuracy can very frequently seem like a mistake in the eyes of your reader.
