How do historical fiction writers persuade their readers? Historical fiction writers persuade their readers by bringing their imaginations to another time. A way to escape from the troubles of our lives and into the lives of another. “Historical fiction should feature characters who look and sound like people of a particular historical era. Historical fiction should adhere to established history but can also make reasonable changes for the sake of character and plot. Historical fiction should depict the values, virtues and prejudices of a historical era accurately, especially where these affect the plot” (“Historical Fiction Genre Characteristics”).

How much research does it takes to develop a historical fiction novel? Historical fiction authors need to do a lot of research to develop a historical fiction novel. The authors need to immerse themselves into the setting and time period they're writing about. They also need to know key details such as dialogue, speech, and social ways of the culture they are researching. By doing this the author can immerse the readers into the story due to the writers massive amount of knowledge on the subject (“Crowes Nest”; “Historical Fiction Genre Characteristics”).

What is the relationship between historical fiction and truth? Historical fiction and the truth are similar by historical fiction being actual events in history, but with a few made-up qualities (“Seminar”). Historical fiction and the truth are similar by historical fiction being actual events in history, but with a few made-up qualities (“Seminar”). An example of this is with the novel Soldier X. A historical fiction novel based on a true story in World War II. The true qualities in this novel are the main conflict between during WWII and the main characters while the plot is mostly made up (Wulffson). Another example for the relationship between truth and historical fiction novels is from the novel Forever. Forever is has a true setting and a few true characters while the main character and everything else is made up (Hamill). An example of this is with the novel Soldier X.

How much do authors make up in writing a historical fiction novel? Authors who write historical fiction authors need to establish a background and setting of an actual time period. They can however make up facts such as plots, characters and conflicts. Although some of these made up things can be true. Historical fiction novels need to be plausible to the plot and the time period, while also being entertaining and keeping the reader hooked on the story. Once the setting is established as an actual place the writer can begin to weave a story through real or fake characters, with either real of fake events. This “weaving” can bring the reader into the story (“Seminar”; “Historical Fiction Genre Characteristics”).

How do historical fiction authors hook and hold readers? Authors do this by creating a novel that is inviting and attractive to readers. For example Forever, gives the main character feelings and conflicts from which the reader feels emotions towards the character. These emotions hook the reader into the book. “Cormac sees New York ‘being shaped by a restless unknown hand, a godlike artist who is never satisfied,’ and jokes that ‘on the final day, after due warning to the citizens, the god of New York will lift his creation into the sky,’ the ultimate skyscraper. 'You could see that New York from Africa,' he tells the babalawo, explaining that he has lived to see all memory, ‘African, Irish, Italian, Jewish, German, Polish, English, all memory of injury and insult, all nostalgia for lost places and smashed families, all yearning for the past: saw all of it merge into New York.’ The city of filth and corruption is also the wellspring of the mythology of America” (Hamill; Green, Michelle Erica ). Historical Fiction allows the reader to lose himself/herself in another time. Their leisurely pacing and attention to detail allows for a submersion experience. They give the reader the opportunity to compare historic eras and past events to the present day. Female characters in historical fiction are often strong, independent characters (“Adult Reading Round Table”).
