The General Worldbuilding Guide - Paperback

As a writer, I like to think I know everything about my characters and the world they inhabit.

But do I? I certainly don't always recall those details-and definitely not when I need them most. Cue the dive down an internet rabbit hole for the next hour instead of continuing to write my draft. There's a time for writing, and there's a time for worldbuilding-and they aren't the same!

Use this book to build your world in all its glory, so that the next time those townsfolk are suspicious of strangers, you know what happened the last time they trusted someone who walked into town from the world beyond. Just imagine, when you sit down to write, already knowing the answers to questions like:

What is that song on the radio at the bar?

How long does it take to drive from Town A to Town B?

Who established that law about bathtubs in the street?

Where is the best place to get a burger in this town?

When did that family take over the monarchy?

Tackling everything from creation myths and cultural practices to building relationships and measuring time, this worldbuilding guide has the questions and activities you need to help you craft a believable world for your story.
