Episode 43: “Filling the gaps of history… with fiction!” with Lauren Willig

NYT bestselling author of historical fiction, Lauren Willig, talks about shifting from a history dissertation to writing historical novels. Willig talks about how she discovered she has “fiction brain”; figuring out when and how to use fiction to fill the gaps in historical understanding; finding co-authors; and what makes collaborative writing work. We also talk about competition and envy between writers, writing regrets, and why luck is such an important ingredient in a successful career.
