In this workshop, you’ll learn techniques and strategies to engage your audience and bring your fictional world to life.
Creating unique, fully realized environments that readers will want to get lost in is not just a skill for fantasy or science fiction writers. No matter what time period or location your stories are set in, mastering fictional worldbuilding is key to transporting readers into your story.
