The 301 World Building Workshop is designed for young authors who are interested in or considering turning their story into a series of stories featuring the same characters. This workshop will give guidance on how to determine the scale for a story idea, and provide valuable techniques for scaling up a single story into a series, while also providing personalised assistance in the formulation of future narratives.
Topics Covered
Unit 1: Setting Scale
Unit 2: Savvy Serialization
Unit 3: Careful Consistency
Unit 4: Wider Worlds (Story Evaluation Session)
Delivery
Delivery can be face-to-face or virtual via Zoom, depending on what fits a particular group.
