To tell a compelling story about history in written form, historians can use narrative techniques such as creating a strong storyline, incorporating personal anecdotes or perspectives, and focusing on key events or characters to keep readers engaged. They should also strive to make connections between past events and current themes or issues to help readers relate to the material. Additionally, utilizing descriptive language, vivid imagery, and well-researched facts can enhance the storytelling experience and evoke emotions in readers.

Additionally, well-developed relationships between characters, compelling conflicts, and thought-provoking moral dilemmas can also contribute to maintaining interest in the story.
