Welcome to a special Bonus Season! Enjoy these sessions from this year's Worldbuilding Con!
It’s easy to get carried away by the desire to fully flesh out your fictional world. Our panel of industry experts will explain how much worldbuilding is enough - and how to deliver it for maximum impact, while avoiding the dreaded “exposition infodump prologue.”
🎙️Speakers:
John Joseph Adams is the series editor of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy and is the editor of more than thirty anthologies, such as Wastelands, Lost Worlds & Mythological Kingdoms, and Epic: Legends of Fantasy. He is also editor (and publisher) of the Hugo Award-winning magazine Lightspeed and is publisher of its sister-magazines Nightmare and Fantasy. Called “the reigning king of the anthology world” by Barnes & Noble, John is a two-time winner of the Hugo Award and an eight-time World Fantasy Award finalist.
C.L. Clark is a BFA award-winning editor and the Nebula-nominated author of The Unbroken, the first of the Magic of the Lost trilogy, several short stories, and a few essays. When she’s not imagining the fall of empires, she’s trying not to throw her kettlebells through the walls.
Chris Fox is the Amazon bestselling author of The Magitech Chronicles, Shattered Gods, and The Dark Lord Bert. He loves RPGs, and is very proud to have one of his own in print, all to impress a girl, now his wife and mother of his son.
Jason Sizemore is the owner and editor-in-chief of Apex Magazine and Apex Books. He's been nominated for multiple Hugo Awards for his editing work. His most recent anthologies include DO NOT GO QUIETLY: STORIES OF RESISTANCE and APEX MAGAZINE: 2021.
