Join KWG member Doug Sofer for an interactive talk about how thinking like a historian can bring authenticity and depth to your work. It’s for writers of historical fiction, essayists, memoirists, or anyone else seeking to shepherd their readers back to bygone eras.

Doug Sofer is a professor of history at Maryville College. His ongoing project takes the idea of the past as a foreign country and turns it on its head, demonstrating how we present-day people are the strange ones when understood in historical perspective. It’s called “You Are A Weirdo.” He blogs his blog and casts his pod at findyourselfinhistory.com .
