About this tool

**Period & Historical Detail** is designed to sit open beside your manuscript. Each section pairs a concise, actionable rule with a wrong/right example drawn from the same fictional scenario and the same characters — so you see the principle at work, not just in theory.

Inside you'll find craft guidance on: - Selecting period details that ground without overwhelming - Weaving research into prose invisibly - Handling dialogue, vocabulary, and idiom across eras - Avoiding anachronism without sacrificing voice - Using sensory and material culture for authenticity
