SPECULATIVE FICTION WORKSHOP

Building Strong Worlds

Tara Sim

Whether you're writing fantasy, science fiction, or even contemporary, worldbuilding is an integral part of telling a story. A world is so much more than where your characters live; it's what they interact with on a daily basis, what forms their perceptions and opinions, what gives them food and clothing, etc. While the process of worldbuilding may seem daunting, this workshop will break down the most fundamental elements, such as society, economy, and culture, to provide you with the necessary questions to ask when building a world from the ground up.
