Every story ever written has had to create a unique story world.
The question is, how much world building detail is enough? The answer, probably, is a good deal less than you thought. In simple terms, the story comes first, and any world building you do must serve the needs of that story.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the what, when and how of writing those important world building details into your story.

"Whether you’re writing academic papers, science fiction novels, or government reports, clear communication between author and reader is essential. My overarching goal is therefore to help clients express themselves with elegance and clarity. When assigning undergraduate term papers, my injunction to students is always, “Write this as though you want someone else to actually read it.” My goal as an editor is to help clients to achieve such effortless readability."
