How to write ‘Faction’ (Factual Fiction)

Event sponsored by Somerton Library

Author Beth Webb will give an illustrated talk and a mini workshop on how to turn historical events into engaging stories. Using her ‘faction’ novella, ‘Broken Angels – A Tale of Glastonbury Abbey,’ Beth will describe how she and historian Mark Hutchinson took a dry list of punishments meted out at the Abbey in 1408, breathed life into them and created an intriguing story.

The workshop will give participants the chance to have a go at creating their own ‘faction’ outlines. All are welcome, no writing experience necessary (not suitable for children).

Beth has had fifteen books published for all ages, including the Star Dancer tetralogy, an adult / YA historical fantasy series, as well as the children’s classics, the ‘Fleabag’ trilogy. She is a published poet and an illustrator.
