On Writing and Worldbuilding, Volume III

By: Timothy Hickson

Narrated by: Larissa Thompson, Merphy Napier

Writing guides are often full of 'tips' and 'tricks' either too broad to be useful, so specific they don't apply, or frustratingly vague. The On Writing and Worldbuilding series is here to change that. Volume III covers a whole new array of topics with applicable, clear, and practical discussions, be it writing character descriptions, compelling dialogue, or worldbuilding cities and towns. While written with an edge for science fiction and fantasy, the help found in this book applies to all genres. Volume III stands entirely independent of the first two volumes with entirely new discussions. With all this and more, On Writing and Worldbuilding is a 'must have'.

ON WRITING: Character descriptions, Death scenes, Dialogue, Subtext in dialogue, Darkest hours, Plot armour, Environmental descriptions, Elemental magic systems, Antiheroes, Paragon heroes ON WORLDBUILDING: Death and the afterlife, Cities across the ages, Mountains, Island civilisations, Fallen civilisations

So many amazing points

Even better than the other two for my own purposes, and the world I'm creating for my story. A fantastic listen!

Mostly okay

The author states his own political baises as facts while warning against doing so. This is very noticeable, taking away some of the overall value of the work. He also presents his own work as examples, which again, takes away from the overall value of those examples.
