World-building for Fantasy and Sci-fi Writers.

'Whether you write fantasy, sci-fi or anything in-between, at some point you may need to invent your own world. Author Ian C Douglas, the maker of a few make-believe locations himself, will look at some important skills to make creating your own world easier. This workshop will include info-dumping (and ways to avoid it), inventing imaginary creatures and monsters, and a deeper look at writing histories for your world.

This is a new workshop, suitable both for participants from Ian’s previous workshops or those coming along for the first time. Participants are welcome to use their own work in the practice exercises. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly with a break in the middle.
