An Author's Step-by-Step Guide to Building Fictional Worlds

Average rating5
Got a bunch of kick-ass characters but not sure how to make their setting sparkle?
Got a crazy idea for a world but don't know how to make it feel real?
Dive into 30 Days of Worldbuilding and learn how to make all your ideas connect.
Every chapter covers a different aspect of the setting you want to imagine - be it an alien planet, a fantasy kingdom or just a local neighbourhood.
Simple discussions help you to consider topics such as resources (like where water sources are), class systems (who has access to education and why), faith, weather and more.
Each section covers one topic and includes a series of prompts so that you can apply it to your own setting over the course of a month.
Simply reading through this in advance got my head swimming with ideas for how to start to connect some of my story worlds in a more cohesive and considered fashion.
I can't wait to use it throughout a month and apply the advice and wisdom to my projects!
A fantastic and extremely easy-to-read book that absolutely deserves a place on every story-teller's bookshelf!
(I received an advance copy from the author. This is my honest review).
