Crafting a fictional setting, also known as worldbuilding, is a crucial aspect of any good story. A wellcrafted setting has the power to capture our attention and transport us into the world of the characters. However, if you reveal your world in the wrong way, you risk boring your readers and overwhelming them with information.

In today's podcast, Kate and I will discuss the do's and don'ts of worldbuilding. We'll highlight common mistakes that many writers make and provide tips on how to avoid these pitfalls. Our aim is to help you create an immersive, unique, and captivating fictional setting that will keep your readers engaged until the very last page. We'll share powerful techniques to take your worldbuilding to the next level and make your story unforgettable.
