Welcome to a special Bonus Season! Enjoy these sessions from this year's Worldbuilding Con!
Tone, mood and aesthetic are all elements that can be used to differentiate your world. Join us for a lively discussion on how to add a darker edge to your worldbuilding efforts. Learn how careful placement of the shadows in your world can add depth, and help your world feel more realistic - or more fantastical.
🎙️Speaker:
Michael Williams | The author of fifteen novels, a number of stories and poems, and the late, lamented “Mythical Realism” travel blog, Michael Williams has been writing and publishing over the last thirty years. His most recent work, the City Quartet—four magical realist novels set in a city that is/is not Louisville, Kentucky—has received widespread critical acclaim. A native of Louisville, he has lived in a number of far-flung spots, but now dwells in sleepy & domestic Southern Indiana. Recently retired from a professorship at the University of Louisville, he is currently drinking bourbon and at work on a long narrative poem that ties to the novels in the City Quartet, because what is a quartet without a fifth?
