Join two Homer writers to discuss the joys and challenges of writing about historical events and individuals. How does a historian take the facts of a real person’s actions in a previous time and make them interesting and compelling to a modern reader? How does a fiction writer embellish or even set aside the facts of history for the same reason?

Come and see what happens when a journalist and a novelist walk into a library!
