Worldbuilding

In this episode Rachel Knightley and Emily Inkpen look at the process of worldbuilding for fiction writers.  Normally associated with science fiction and fantasy writers, world building skills can also be applied to real places adapted for fiction.     In our conversation we mentioned the map creation services of Dewi Hargreaves who you can follow on twitter  https://twitter.com/Dewiwrites   Rachel’s map and prop were made in 2009 by Jude Claybourne, who these days can be found at Past Imperfect: the Alchemy of Transforming Trauma: https://open.spotify.com/show/6XG8ZlvGfWZb4rMKdD9FJV?si=lpfJowJbQ8aE2RSZVzoMjQ   Read Emily’s blog on “Building a World out of Walls” here https://www.emilyinkpen.com/blog/buildingaworldoutofwalls and a further blog on the ways in which worlds relate to characters https://www.emilyinkpen.com/blog/how-does-world-relate-to-character   Rachel apologises for the Douglas Adams misquote which should have ended  “widely regarded as a bad move.”   Join the Writers’ Gym and book your next writing workout at https://www.rachelknightley.com/the-writers-gym/   Book onto the Alternative Stories “Writing for Radio and Podcasts” online workshop on 21st March with Chris and Emily https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-for-radio-and-podcasts-tickets-832128888907   The Writers Gym Podcast is an Alternative Stories production for The Writers' Gym.     Find out more about The Writers' Gym and Rachel Knightley by going to https://www.rachelknightley.com/   Find out more about Emily Inkpen and her work by going to https://www.emilyinkpen.com/   And learn more about Chris Gregory and Alternative Stories here https://alternativestories.com/   Subscribe to The Writers’ Gym in your favourite podcast app to be notified of all new episodes as they are released.     New episodes of The Writers’ Gym will appear every Wednesday
