At the #lasvegas #bookfestival I was able to present a workshop on writing fiction to Reveal the Hidden #History of Women
#protip
Remember (shocker) women have always existed.
Therefore women can be centered in:
1. A historical setting
2. A historical event
3. A fictionalized Jane Doe
4. A fictional account of a real person
