7 tips to writing authentic historical fiction
Writer in Residence
Nathan Makaryk
Nathan's debut novel Nottingham was released in August 2019 by Tor/Forge (US) and Bantam (AUS), and its sequel Lionhearts followed in September 2020.
Nathan is a theater owner, playwright, director, actor and improv comedian, living in southern California. None of these pay very well, so he also has a real job teaching audio systems networking software to people who have no idea.
He's also a novelist and theater guy.
