What you get with The Essential Worldbuilding Blueprint and Workbook.
Across 18 sections, you'll build a fictional world so wondrous, readers will wish they could visit.
Here's what you'll learn:
🌍 Worldbuilding methods: Turn the feelings of overwhelm into a plan by choosing the right starting point for your world.
⭐ Stars and Planets: Give your world an awe-inspiring sky, even if the only thing you know about astronomy is that stars are far away (yes, even fantasy writers can play with space!)
🧭 Locations: Geography and Climate: Build accurate regions, continents, and planets with cheat sheets on geographic features and their effect on the environment.
👽 Fictional Beings: Animals, Aliens, & Paranormals: Whether creating a new kind of vampire or a dog-tiger hybrid, make all your species feel realistic enough that they could step out of a zoology book.
🌲 Ecosystem: It sounds overwhelming, but there's actually a simple way to create an entire ecosystem for your world. We'll give you the skills to do it.
🔮 Magic: Craft a wondrous magical system and weave it into every part of your setting, so it feels grounded and real.
👻 Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance: This is the chapter for writers who blend magic, paranormal elements, and the modern world. You'll learn how to meld them together into a thrilling setting.
🧪 Science: Break the laws of physics by giving your world different natural laws or just explore how science fits into the rest of your setting.
🚀 Technology: Learn a simple method for crafting detailed systems of technology (fantasy writers, you need this too! Tech is more than just computers).
👩⚖️ Social Structures (family, government, economy, law): Develop a society of cozy goblins, a coven of ancient vampires, a complex alien civilization, and everything in between.
💖 Values and Ethics: Create the basis of a rich culture using a technique almost no one talks about.
🕌 Religion, Mythology, and Philosophy: From gods to saints to great thinkers, develop belief systems that fit with every other part of your world.
📖 History: Create your world's historical timeline without spending an era on an endless list of events. You just need four questions instead.
After you build the essentials of your world, flesh it out with worksheets on:
🏠 Art, Fashion, and Architecture: Give your world some style and fair based on its society, culture, species, religion, and history.
🎲 Games, Sports, and Holidays: Tie your world's pastimes to its culture, values, and religion.
