Join author Barrie Doyle to discover the wonders of historical fiction!
History, legend and the art of storytelling with Barrie Doyle. You want your work to be enjoyed; more than that, believable. Easy enough if you’re writing about modern times, but what if your story is set in the past? We’ll look at techniques and tips for digging into the past to make your stories come alive. Where do you find out what food a medieval monk ate or what an Egyptian Pharaoh wore to bed, and how do you make it real to your readers? You never know what you’ll learn when you delve into history.
Registration for this workshop will begin September 20.
Our Painswick Branch is located in the south end of Barrie, near the corner of Big Bay Point Road and Yonge Street. The building and facilities are fully accessible. Enjoy the bright and sunny reading lounge, use our complimentary wifi, experiment with technology and maker tools, or book a room for your next event.
