World Building

[close] Welcome to our amazing reading group and book club! This group was created to share opinions, ideas, thoughts and conspiracy theories about our favorite books! We will discuss old books that we LOVE and also select one book to read together with a very flexible schedule in mind. We will discuss and review these books as we work our way through them.

[close] This group is to talk about awesome fantasy books full of magic and adventure; especially those crafted in the immersive world of Ylécium. We are two bestselling fantasy authors, Autumn M. Birt and Jesper Schmidt. We love to write books full of magic, adventure, dangers, and characters you'll love (and maybe a few you'll love to hate). Join us here to chat about fantasy books, the world of Ylécium, and much more. We post snippets of our writing, you might find cool fantasy artwork, some video updates, and whatever shenanigans we can come up with — including occasional freebies and more!

[close] Dedicated to the craft of world building for the Fantasy genre...

[close] The focus of this group concerns the design and analysis of imaginary (or constructed) worlds for narrative fiction. We will read novels that create immersive, atmospheric, and engaging fictional worlds. Whether it’s a gothic castle or another planet, we will meet and talk about these settings on their own terms. How does the author create these worlds? What methods are effective? And what kind of worlds do we find ourselves retreating to and why?
