Elaborate worldbuilding is a hallmark of science fiction and fantasy, but so is the plethora of confusing, unpronounceable, made up words and concepts. With so much information needed to tell your story, it’s easy to overwhelm your audience. This class will discuss ways to build a fantastical world and ease readers into it, making it more likely they’ll remember characters, places, and events. We’ll also address how to put complex ideas into a concise, understandable, and intriguing pitch for agents and editors as well as readers.
