Episode 27: Worldbuilding w/ Tasha Suri & K.S. Villoso

The many varied and fantastic worlds in which speculative fiction stories are set are one of the primary draws of the genre. Fans often rave about the decades J.R.R. Tolkien spent building Middle Earth or debate the rules of their favorite story’s magic system. But what exactly goes into worldbuilding, and how can it be done well?

Authors Tasha Suri and K.S. Villoso share their insights into worldbuilding, drawing from their own storytelling and the books they love. We discuss conveying worldbuilding through a character’s point of view, macro- vs micro-worldbuilding, and one of the most important questions of all… where to start?
