Sneaky World-Building for Writers

How clever authors teach you about other worlds while you think you’re simply escaping.

Every fiction book (and even memoir) takes the reader into another world: that’s the essence of escape. But writers must know what boundaries to set, and resist the temptation (being experts on their world) to tell readers things they don’t actually need to hear now. Those boundaries can be remarkably narrow.

This presentation will help writers and aspiring writers spot (and thoroughly enjoy) the ways in which writers build a world for readers’ entertainment, without ever letting on that they are learning something.

Perfect for writers, readers, fantasy lovers, and anyone who’s thinking about putting pen to paper, author and audiobook narrator Will Hahn will take you through some cardinal rules of world-building for writing.
