Worldbuilding is the cornerstone of any novel. The world surrounding your characters creates the space for the reader to interact and understand the characters of the story. How does it inform character choices? How does it drive the plot or add to the story? This panel of storytellers will discuss your world as a character. At what length your world should be developed and how does it serve to motivate or demand character interaction?
