Marie, I am planning to start with a historical novel in the coming year. Any tips on how to start and then organise research material? Any tip would help to get me started. Thanks
Marie Silk
Thank you for your question. I like to include as much as real history as possible and then have my characters experience the events. I build the historical timeline directly into the chapter outline. This helps me stay organized with historical dates and events. I hope this helps :).

Before you cringe, Yes, I'm an author who recently published my 1st novel, CRONE, A Scarlet St. James Novel. After spending an obscene amount of money on FB ads, my sales were low despite having 84K clicks to web. Any advice on how to get my book out there besides signings and writing contests? I just want people to enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, and earn enough to put out another novel.
