Fantasy authors lost in world building

Authors struggling to weave world building and a story together
Overview
A well-built and layered world is essential to the fantasy genre, but it is so easy to get lost when creating that level of complexity.
Some authors end up taking years to build their worlds before they even start writing and then find they’ve created far more than they need, wasting months on work that readers never see — or worse, oversharing detail that just bogs down the story.
Other authors struggle to create the rich level of detail their story, and readers, deserve!
This doesn’t have to be you!
In this course, we’ve created a step-by-step system that will not only help you craft the perfect world to fit your story, it will help you develop your novel idea. Plus, we’ll make sure you don’t spend unnecessary time creating details you’ll never use!
More than that, we’ll also teach you pro techniques to weave your writing and world together to avoid information dumps as well as finding new ways to bring the world to life.
If that sounds like what you need, join Crafting Incredible Fantasy Worlds and build the story of your dreams.
