Bio
Isla McKenzie holds a master's degree in history and started her channel to fact-check the historical fiction she was reading for fun, separating dramatic license from documented record.
Her "how accurate is it really" series has become required viewing for readers of historical fiction who want the story and the syllabus in one place.
