A great work of historical fiction transports audiences back in time in a uniquely human way. At its best, historical fiction makes the struggles of the past feel raw and emotional in the present, sheds light on those left out of the dominant historical narrative, and challenges us to consider multiple perspectives. How do writers of historical fiction accomplish this feat? 

Join us on February 28 for a Zoom conversation with playwright Patrick Gabridge and novelist William Martin to discuss writing stories set in revolutionary times in America’s history. Patrick Gabridge has written numerous historical fiction plays, including Revolution's Edge at the Old North Church. William Martin is a master of historical thrillers and is well known for his best-selling series of books starring the treasure hunter Peter Fallon. 

Gabridge and Martin will shed light on their process for researching little-known events and people, portraying history from a variety of viewpoints, the differences between writing plays and novels, and more.  

Our 2024 Speaker Series events are brought to you in part by Hub Town Tours.
