I've got about four false starts to a long form biographical narrative here but maybe the real vehicle it needs is short story. <br /><br />In any case, I have that book review to turn out first!

A good biography is always good-- another of the short ebooks I've really liked was The Fearless Mrs Goodwin (http://tungstenhippo.com/content/fearless-mrs-goodwin). But I think stories about events or time periods can be great, too. I remember reading a really fascinating book about the plague years in Europe. Maybe look at the things you focus on and see if there is an interesting person most people don't know about, or a discovery during the Renaissance that gets overlooked, or something like that.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-83840941843143346152014-11-11T06:05:50.001-08:002014-11-11T06:05:50.001-08:00So what kind of historical stories would you find ...So what kind of historical stories would you find interesting? I'm a historian and always looking for ways to broaden my audience base, but I work on Europe and the Renaissance which can make it harder. What's a historical topic that makes you go Wow! I want to know more about that!Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-23840715917874182772014-11-11T06:03:16.863-08:002014-11-11T06:03:16.863-08:00I think this is a great idea -- I'm always exc...I think this is a great idea -- I'm always excited about things that make life easier for writers and help them earn money too.
