I can definitely tell when I'm reading historical fiction if the writer has done their research or not. It just feels like they've put more work into it.

I love history and I do listen to nonfiction history podcasts listen to audiobooks because I have a hard time sometimes focusing when I need to read a book. So I need historical research quite often. I find myself reading a nonfiction book right after a fictional historical novel to see how they do And if it’s an ongoing series, then I’ll know that I can trust them and just read it and enjoy it.

Every time I sit down to write I end up doing some type of research and I write in high fantasy. The basic elements that are familiar to our world have to be right or it breaks the fourth wall.

You can really tell when the author is knowledgeable about the subject or not. Must say it can be quite humorous when an author doesn’t really know, but usually just confuses the story.

this is why I write fantasy lol. still requires research but I can have some leeway to make up my own inventions, creatures, history, and customs. I know i couldn't do a realistic peice the care it needs. I'd be adding ghosts lol.

I love that! I had to get in touch with the people at Cornwall iron mine out in Pennsylvania so that I could give my main character a day job. It didn't feel right making it up when all the information is right there, and historians are more than happy to share!

A good book will put those details that immerse you into the story. If you haven't done your research, it feels hokey and hazy and not quite all there. Historical fiction is tough without research.

I applaud you and other authors for the research you do! I think a LOT of readers appreciate that. I know I do!
