The hilarious and brainy co-author of the huge bestseller The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society as well as several other works of historical fiction will impart her wisdom on:

  • Research: where, when, and how much is too much
  • Techniques and tools for evoking an era
  • Not Actively Wrong: the gold standard of historicity
  • Even if it happened in your own lifetime, it’s still history
