You are definitely not alone!
After all, I had some good stories, I had written plenty of non-fiction, and I'm a good researcher.
So, I researched other books that covered both the time and the setting that were relevant to my own book idea.
I quickly discovered that I had NO idea what I was up against!
I was completely surprised by some of the ugly reviews some of these books had gotten. That's when I started reading about the experiences of many historical fiction writers.
When you add an historical element to fiction, you attract a lot of new readers. People are fascinated with different time periods in history.
And that reader awareness brings some problems for new historical fiction writers:
It can be intimidating. It's the main thing that keeps good writers with good story ideas from writing historical fiction.
But those readers weren't born with the information. People born in 1980 don't come into the world understanding the plight of a girl in Jane Austen's time.
There's no reason why you can't learn about that time, too. And you don't have to be an expert on every single thing during that time period.
You only have to know enough to tell your story.
That's hugely important, so I'm going to say that again...
You only have to know enough to tell your story.
Even if you write a time traveler story, where someone from the present time visits some other era, they will only be exposed to so much during the course of your book. They won't experience everything from that era.
Even if you DID know every trivial fact about that time period, if you put everything you know into your book, it would be remarkably boring (and really long).
That's if you ever even finished writing it. You probably wouldn't.
So, I decided to learn the things that I would need to know to tell a good number of stories in just one period: the Regency Era.
Why that time? Because it's an interesting period in history, but also because it's one of the most lucrative categories in historical fiction.
Historical fiction sells!
If you didn't already know this, now you do. It really really sells!
And Regency Era fiction, in particular, is one of the most sought after by readers.
Regency Era fiction readers are incredibly loyal, too. That's great news for you as an author of such stories.
Once you make even a minor name for yourself, readers will line up to buy your next offering... over and over again.
So, I set out to learn just enough about that period to write a competent and interesting story. I didn't need to know enough to write a history textbook covering every last detail of every year throughout the entire period.
After doing this research, it dawned on me that I
could share it with others interested in writing Regency fiction, saving them all the time and
effort I'd already spent.
And that's exactly why you're here!
Inside Painless Historial Fiction: Regency Era, you get 80 pages of period-specific info, details, and important historical events.
The entire purpose is to give you a clear understanding of life in the Regency Era so that you can write a work of fiction that impresses readers and is free of embarrassing mistakes.
There's a lot here, but it's not too much. What I mean is, I know you're not writing a history class textbook. You're writing a work of fiction that you want readers to enjoy and find entertaining.
So I give you what's important to know, but skip all the mind-numbing tiny details you'd never need anyway.
Here's what you'll find details about inside Painless Historical Fiction: Regency Era
This report is easily the best all-around Regency reference I've seen for anyone who'd like to write stories set in the early 19th century. You've summarized key elements that make the Regency different from Georgian times and the Victorian Era.
Even better, you've kept this simple with each "Bottom Line for Writers" section related to everyday life of both the English upper and working classes.
Regency fiction has a particular style and context unlike any other. It's not just Jane Austen, London Seasons, and trips to Bath. The wit, social calendar, and manners of that world were extreme and structured. If an author gets it wrong, Pemberley enthusiasts -- including me -- will shriek in horror and post terrible reviews. Your report can prevent that.
This report covers the basics every aspiring Regency author must know to succeed. It's a complete foundation for anyone writing novellas and short reads. For authors working on novels and multi-volume Regency series, you've explained diverse (and important) topics with clear pointers for additional, genre-specific research.
I read Regency novels daily. I own at least a dozen Regency reference books, plus two full notebooks of related, printed articles.
Your full report -- all 82 pages -- is getting its own notebook. On the first read-through, I was already taking notes for future Regency plot twists. Even with my background in Regencies, your "bottom line..." sections highlighted some innovative story ideas that had never occurred to me.
Thank you!
Quickly scanned the PDF, this is the perfect info I needed to get started with historical fiction. I'm looking forward to the workshop, I know it's going to be great!

Why not skip those alternatives? There's no need for you to spend hours on boring legwork. There's no need for you to pay someone hundreds to do it for you.
