Every Fiction Writer Builds Worlds...
You know you want to hook your readers on your fiction. You desperately want to build a growing audience of fans who love your characters, your stories, and the world in which you set them.
But chances are--unless you're a science fiction or fantasy writer--you're certain that you don't need to do any worldbuilding, because you equate building worlds with sticking a big fantasy map in the front of your book, and writing about aliens, or dwarves and elves and dragons.
The truth is, worldbuilding is the process of creating immersive fiction, of making it possible for your reader to experience the suspension of disbelief that allows him to live in your world.
   Every fiction writer already worldbuilds.
   Most writers simply do it badly.
Because most writers don't think they build worlds in their fiction, the worlds they build by accident:
- break their plotsÂ
- kill their pacingÂ
- destroy their conflictÂ
- and eliminate their characters' motivation.Â
   How easy?Â
Use the Amazon LOOK INSIDE feature to build your Dot World right now, and begin proving to yourself that you can worldbuild--and that constructing quick, simple, and intentional worlds will make your stories better than you ever dreamed they could be. You need one piece of paper and a pen or pencil.
