Book signings. They’re mutually sought after and utterly dreaded. So how does one succeed behind the table? This class will cover the whole shebang, from setting up a book signing, to interacting with potential readers, to what to do if and when no one shows up. We’ll cover how to stock your book-signing armory online and off, as well as share stories from the pros.
So exactly how much worldbuilding do you have to have figured out before you start writing the first chapter? How do you develop your world into settings that become characters in the story? Whether your book is set on Earth or something more like Middle Earth, we’ll have a lot of fun diving into all the deliciously difficult ingredients of a fantasy world (the magic, politics, culture, geography, economics, religion) and then figuring out how much to reveal, when to reveal what, and how to exploit the tension opportunities each one brings to the table.
