What this episode covers
We begin with a definition of Historical Fantasy that allows us narrow the topic and differentiate it from Alternate History. When we say historical fantasy we mean "adding magic to a historical period we want to write in." We offer some examples of this, talk about why it's popular right now, and then talk about how you as a writer can do this well.
