Hi there,
Earlier this year, I messaged you about a piece I was writing for university. I asked about research and the amount that goes into the actual piece. This semester, I’m writing about Cleopatra and I’m essay an accompanying on the difficulties with writing about famous historical figures. So far, I want to talk about the established conventions behind figures like Cleopatra, how primary accounts are often biased, and trying to achieve the balace between fact and fiction. Having written many famous figures in your books, I was hoping you might have some wisdom I could quote in my essay?
I’d really love to hear from you again; your comments helped me so much last time!
Warmest regards,
Emma
