Why Is World-Building Important?
Writers of all genres can benefit from this workshop because setting is a powerful element in any novel. This course focuses on crafting a lush and immersive setting guaranteed to draw in any reader. Take your audience to a brand new (or newly reimagined) world.
Many popular novels are not the most profound, well-written, or even have the best characters. Solid world-building is what makes novels popular. Tons of books have made it big simply because the world-building was too excellent to ignore.
Example: Harry Potter (no offense intended here). It wasn’t really that great, though it was written well. The characters were unique and fun. The plot was solid. But what made Harry Potter so amazing was the world-building. Hogwarts is real. The Wizarding World is real. The history of muggles and magic is real. That’s why we love those books.
Amazing world-building is the best way to draw your reader in. Yes, you need everything else to be amazing too. But world-building is key. You could have the best characters, a unique plot, and a genius premise. None of that matters if your world-building game is weak.
How exactly do you create a new world? Well, like the actual creation of the universe, it’s going to be both messy and chaotic. But don’t panic.
What You’ll Learn through Universal Architecture
You will learn how to bring order to that chaos with this workshop. You’ll delve deep into every aspect of world-building. Topic by topic, you’ll get to know your world inside and out, backward and forwards. Once your world-building structure is complete, writing your novel is easy.
Imagine trying to write a novel with just a bunch of notes about your world. It would be chaos. And your readers would notice. You must have everything organized. Your concept must be clear in order to craft a novel people want to read.
