The Writing process. Research
Description
Authenticity is essential to any novel worth reading, and serious authors will go to great lengths to establish it. Drawing on the insights of Roddy Doyle (Oh, Play That Thing), Andrew Pyper (The Trade Mission), Kerri Sakamoto (One Hundred Million Hearts), and Ray Robertson (Moody Food), this program explains why solid facts make great fiction. Their emphasis on firsthand experience via travel-the Amazon jungle, Hiroshima, the karaoke circuit, 1920s New York-reinforces the principle that not everything in fiction should be made up.
