Every story needs a believable world just as much as it needs likable heroes. But building a world from scratch can be daunting. So, why not use history? I’m an archaeologist and I’m here to help you dig through all of history so you don’t have to figure out what you’re missing by yourself. In this class, we’ll examine the three main types of society, go over examples of great world-building from well-known authors, and discuss how to apply what you learned to your own novel.
