 Historical Fiction
Historical fiction is a genre of fiction that is told through
a range of media. Stories set in historical time and
location that are based on true historical events.
However, certain characters may never have lived, as
well as their activities, which are historically irrelevant
but may be added to improve the love story.

actual dialogue, food consumed, clothing worn,
routes travelled, etc., so the author inserts
information that is believed to be historically
accurate for the time period.
 Brief history of historical fiction
Arthur was King Uther Pendragon's first born son and
heir to the throne. However, these were troubled times,
and Merlin, a wise magician, advised that the baby
Arthur be raised in a secret place where no one would
know his true identity. When King Uther died, as Merlin
predicted, there was a great deal of disagreement over
who should be the next king. Merlin used his magical
abilities to set a sword in stone.
The words "Whoso pulleth out this sword of
this stone is the rightfully born king of all
England," were written in gold letters on the
sword.
Following this Arthur became King.Arthur's
base was at a place called Camelot.
 By presenting Arthur's quest for the
mysterious Holy Grail, French poet
Chrétien de Troyes gave Arthur's quest a
spiritual motivation. Despite the fact that
Arthur was not a real person, his fabled
influence grew stronger as the ages
passed.

The quality of historical fiction tells a compelling story
that balances authentic and accurate information with
fiction and May comprised the quality characteristics.
It can be further defined by considering the tale
aspects (characters, plot, setting, topic, style, tone, and
point of view) and how they are frequently described in
historical fiction works.

popular today.

 What is a memoir?
A memoir is part of your life story in that it’s a
collection of experiences, memories, or events that
take place in a person’s life. It is not an
autobiography, but rather a true experience from
the writer’s life, that is creatively written and
incorporates research.
 Brief history

Over the past few years the memoir as a genre,

has become very popular. You no doubt are
aware of some of the memoirs that were
turned into movies in recent years.
As the diagram above shows, think of an
autobiography as the whole pie, and the
memoir a slice of that pie. A memoir covers a
certain period or specific events in your life,
and not your whole life.
If you are interested in writing a memoir, I
assume you have read a number of published
memoirs
 These are some memoir examples from both well-
known and lesser known authors: The Glass Castle by
Jeannette Walls. This book came into the spotlight
when the movie was made. This is a touching story,
with a lot of emotion. Walls tells the story of her
childhood, living with her nomadic, alcoholic parents .
parents.
Beautiful Boy by David Shepp. This is another memoir
that was turned into a movie recently. And also, a
very emotional story. Shepp shares his life dealing
with his “son’s shocking descent into substance abuse
and his gradual emergence into hope
 - A focused theme.
Your memoir should have an overarching theme, takeaway lesson, or message for your readers. It’s not just a play-by-
play of your life, but rather showing the reader something based on a specific event or experience.
Conflict. The most captivating and memorable memoirs out there are those that have a hero’s journey, or obstacles
that the narrator must overcome.
- Writing style.
The reader is likely reading the story from your perspective, so make sure you’re writing style and author’s voice comes
through your narrative. This is your chance to invite the reader into your world and tell a story from your life, so add
some personality to it.
- Use supporting stories and details.
While this is a memoir about your particular experience, your memoir will be stronger if you’re able to inject stories
from other people’s lives that move your narrative along.
- Storytelling elements.
Your memoir needs to be an engaging, emotional experience for the reader, and the best way to create this is by
incorporating the elements of storytelling. Draw on character development, story setting, exciting plot, literary
elements, and more.
Truth.
Lastly, your memoir needs to be an honest reflection of your life experience. While it’s okay to highlight and draw
attention to certain details, make sure your memoir is factual. This is not only important from a storytelling standpoint
but from a legal position, too
 memoir format
1.Consider the topic. The subject or topic of your memoir has a big
influence on how successful the book will be.
2.Your writing craft matters. Storytelling is important in a
memoir. That isn’t to say that you need to be a super talented
writer to publish a successful memoir, but you do have to use the
key elements of story for your memoir.
3.Prepare to be emotionally-overwhelmed. Writing a memoir can
be a tremendous experience, but it can also be daunting
depending on the topic or subject matter. For example, if you
want to write a memoir about your years in foster care, where
you were possibly subject to abuse, re-visiting the memories can
be traumatic. Your memoir can also be a healing process
