9 Worldbuilding Mistakes New Fantasy Writers Make

About this episode

If you’re writing a fantasy novel, there’s a good chance you’re making one of these nine critical worldbuilding mistakes — and the problem is that any one of these could ruin your story. I know that because after working with over 90 fantasy writers in my coaching programs, I see the same worldbuilding mistakes come up again and again — and from my own experience as an author, I’ve had to learn about these mistakes the hard way.


But the good news is that once you know how to avoid them, you can instead craft a world that feels utterly captivating and immersive for your readers.
