22. Advice from Co-Author and Solo-Author: Find Your Inspiration from the Past
Guest Gina Buonaguro brings her unique experience as a multi-published historical fiction writer, both as a coauthor and solo author. She compares and contrasts these two roles and offers advice for where you can find inspiration for historical fiction.
Talk about the merits of holding control over your self-published work versus the help provided from traditional publishing houses—and be prepared to do your own networking either way! As a bonus, get the scoop from her latest book, newly released in 2023!
About Gina
Gina Buonaguro’s latest novel (and her first solo) is The Virgins of Venice, released on December 13, 2022 by HarperCollins. She has coauthored three historical novels: The Sidewalk Artist, a dual-timeline story about the Renaissance master Raphael; Ciao Bella, which takes place in Northern Italy in the summer after World War II; and The Wolves of St. Peter’s, a murder mystery set at the time Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Rome.
