Historical Fiction Quotes

I like writing historical fiction Picture Quote #1

I’ve always read broadly: literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, chick lit, historical, dystopian, nonfiction, memoir. I’ve even read Westerns. I prefer female protagonists Picture Quote #1

One thing I like about historical fiction is that I’m not constantly focusing on me, or people like me; you’re obliged to concentrate on lives that are completely other than your own Picture Quote #1

Historical fiction is actually good preparation for reading SF. Both the historical novelist and the science fiction writer are writing about worlds unlike our own Picture Quote #1

I read a ton of fiction - historical, contemporary, literary, commercial, I love it all Picture Quote #1

Obviously, I love to do both contemporary and historical fiction. When a hint of a story grabs me, I try to go with it to see where it will take me whatever the setting Picture Quote #1

Historical fiction is not history. You’re blending real events and actual historical personages with characters of your own creation Picture Quote #1

The power of historical fiction for bad and for good can be immense in shaping consciousness of the past Picture Quote #1

The Heretic Queen is historical fiction at its best. Michelle Moran seamlessly incorporates accurate details into a story full of suspense, intrigue, and tenderness that’s impossible to put down until you’ve reached the last page. An absolute triumph! Picture Quote #1

It’s not just what Christian fiction lacks I appreciate - it’s what it offers. The variety is vast: contemporary, historical, suspense, mysteries, adventure, young adult, romance, fantasy, science fiction Picture Quote #1

Historical fiction of course is particularly research-heavy. The details of everyday life are there to trip you up. Things that we take for granted, indeed, hardly think about, can lead to tremendous mistakes Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up I loved reading historical fiction, but too often it was about males; or, if it was about females, they were girls who were going to grow up to be famous like Betsy Ross, Clara Barton, or Harriet Tubman. No one ever wrote about plain, normal, everyday girls Picture Quote #1

I like historical fiction. I fell in love with New Orleans the first time I visited it. And I wanted to place a story in New Orleans Picture Quote #1

No one writes better historical fiction than Steven Pressfield. The Afghan War that was waged by Alexander the Great 2000 years ago is eerily similar to the one that’s being fought today. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to better understand what American and Coalition forces are up against in one of history’s most tribal and troubled regions Picture Quote #1

I go into any movie that’s historical fiction thinking, ‘OK, I’m here to watch a work of art, something delivering a series of opinions, and if it’s a good work of art, these opinions become so deeply embedded in complexity and richness that I won’t even be bothered by the opinions. I’ll make my own mind up.’ Picture Quote #1

I just love historical fiction Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been drawn to historical fiction Picture Quote #1

As a child, I read science fiction, but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure, I read a lot of non-fictional history, particularly historical biography Picture Quote #1

Lightning thief was good but the sea of monsters is better and has more action! Picture Quote #1

History tells us what people do; historical fiction helps us imagine how they felt Picture Quote #1

I can’t read historical fiction because I find the real thing so much more interesting Picture Quote #1

I got nice rejections explaining that historical fiction was a difficult sell. But I kept trying Picture Quote #1

I am not a fan of historical fiction that is sloppy in its research or is dishonest about the real history Picture Quote #1

I have always regarded historical fiction and fantasy as sisters under the skin, two genres separated at birth Picture Quote #1

As much as I love historical fiction, my problem with historical fiction is that you always know what’s going to happen Picture Quote #1

Most readers of historical fiction are content to just get caught up in a good story, and that is what I want to do as an author. I am not concerned with people knowing exactly what I made up and what is real Picture Quote #1

I am in the interesting position of being sometimes skimmed by the critics and called literature and sometimes called historical fiction Picture Quote #1

The thing that most attracts me to historical fiction is taking the factual record as far as it is known, using that as scaffolding, and then letting imagination build the structure that fills in those things we can never find out for sure Picture Quote #1

The thing about being a mystery writer, what marks a mystery writer out from a chick lit author or historical fiction writer, is that you always find a mystery in every situation Picture Quote #1

Much historical fiction that centers on real people has always been deficient in information, lacking in craft and empty in affect Picture Quote #1
