Winter Signal Field Guide No. 11: How to Build a Fantasy World That Holds Together

Build a fantasy world that produces story, not just background.

This 107 page field guide helps you connect land, climate, travel, history, cultures, work, trade, power, institutions, belief, magic, settlements, borders, and character belonging. You can use the complete framework for a novel or series, or choose the chapters that fit a smaller story sized setting.

Inside, you will find:

• 12 focused chapters

• A complete fantasy world framework

• Framework in Practice and Pattern Check sections

• Revision Moves and Field Tools

• Failure Points and Stress Tests

• Field Exercises with response space

• Scene Tests that turn setting into action

• 13 bonus planning and revision tools

The guide does not tell you which kind of fantasy world to build. It helps you connect the world you want to create to character choices, scenes, and consequences.
