NEW! Draw readers into your story with a plot that fascinates, envelops and convinces them they are there. Proficient research can help create a captivating tale by augmenting the accuracy, authenticity and realism. But what resources are available and how do you start? Historical novels, period pieces, and murder mysteries must be accurate. And in the competitive market of creative writing, it's imperative to learn the latest trends and the appropriate wording for your target group. Research is necessary for thrillers, fantasy, romance, and other genres. First-rate research can make for a first-rate story.
