Description

World-building is defined as the creation of the setting, the rules, and the atmosphere in which a story takes place and it really is what makes the story possible. With great world-building comes worlds and stories that really do stay with us. And this is what we are looking at today:


  • ​Why does world-building matter?
  • ​The psychology of world-building
  • ​How authors build worlds
  • ​World-building across different genres


I hope you enjoy, let me know your favourite book worlds in the comments.
