Description

Superheroes… but make it cozy.

In this episode of Author Culture, I explore the Fantastic Four as a surprising model for cozy storytelling.

Inside:

* How world-building makes or breaks cozy vibes

* Why “flat arcs” still keep readers hooked

* Why coziness is about style as much as setting

* Reader perception is everything

If you’re writing cozy sci-fi or fantasy and want Four Great Tips – plus my informed take on how this adaptation measures up to the 2005 Fantastic Four - this one’s for you.
