Juggling dual or multiple timelines can heighten tension, reveal character, and create rich historical layers—but without careful planning, it can also confuse readers. In this craft talk, Addison Armstrong (author of The Light of Luna Park and The War Librarian) walks writers through practical strategies for writing and revising multi-timeline novels.

You’ll discover how to:

• Link timelines effectively through characters, themes, and recurring motifs.

• Keep each arc compelling so readers stay invested in every era.

• Distinguish voices and POVs to avoid blending or flattening your characters.

• Weave settings and events seamlessly across past and present.

• Plan, draft, and revise multi-timeline narratives without losing focus or momentum.

Ideal for historical fiction writers tackling epic sagas, family histories, or ensemble casts, this session offers concrete tools to make every timeline—and every POV—work together beautifully.
