This one-day intensive workshop will focus on ironing out kinks in world building, and threading information through a narrative without info-dumping. Discussion will focus on attendees’ needs, so do come prepared with questions specific to your work. While there will be no time to analyse individual works-in-progress, exercises will be tailored to problems specifically raised in advance of and during the workshop.
