Researching for Historical Novels with Ryan Graudin (Season 1, Bonus Episode 3)

Amie Kaufman On Writing

While you’re waiting for us to bring you Season Two, I wanted to share another bonus episode, with some really inspiring advice about researching for historical novels from one of my favourite writers, Ryan Graudin. She’s the award-winning author of a stack of novels, including my favourites, Wolf by Wolf and Invictus, two of my go-to book recommendations whenever anyone asks for a read they won’t be able to put down. In fact, I love Ryan’s writing so much that we wrote a book together—it came out earlier this year.

You can find Ryan on twitter @ryangraudin and instagram at @rgraudin, and at her website, where you can also sign up for her newsletter. If you loved her history advice, you’re going to love the book we wrote together, The World Between Blinks. You can find me at my website – you can subscribe to my newsletter there, for behind-the-scenes peeks at how I write, and any other news about new books, events or the podcast. You can also submit a question for the podcast there. You can find me on Instagram at @AmieKaufmanAuthor or on Twitter at @AmieKaufman. This podcast is produced by the lovely Kate Armstrong, host of one of my favourite podcasts, The Exploress, which time travels through women’s history one era at a time.
