Historical Fiction & Original Sources

Researching history in a digital age, award-winning author Nancy Taylor Robson wrote A Love Like No Other: Abigail and John Adams in large part based on what she discovered in the collected archive of letters Abigail and John Adams exchanged during their lives. Join Nancy for a talk exploring questions facing any modern author whose writing draws from history: Do original sources matter anymore? What’s true and what’s next?

Your questions about the process of researching and writing historical fiction are welcome at this interactive author talk.
