We talk about the nature of research in fiction.
The blog post Alan refers to regarding research:
We talk about making sure the real things in our novels are correctly represented in order to not upset the readers who would know. And to add realism for the people who wouldn’t know.
We talk about the duty of editors to fact check the work of their authors.
We discuss the importance of beta readers to proof and fact check.
The importance of research, especially travelling to places you’re writing about in order describe them well.
The beauty of modern technology, like Google Earth, to help us with our research.
And, in a shameless plug, if you want to get your fight scenes right, read Alan’s short guide to writing convincing fight scenes, Write The Fight Right, available for only $1.99 - http://www.alanbaxteronline.com/write-fight
