“A-Z of Fantasy Settings”

Do you need help thinking of memorable locations for your fantasy novels?

Fantasy writing involves juggling a lot of different elements and, with everything else to think about, it is easy to end up with dull settings that never come to life in the readers’ minds. The most successful fantasy novels tend to have locations and a world that remain in readers’ thoughts long after they have finished the book.

This book provides details of more than 150 settings you could use, including Faerie Realm, Ice Palace, Celestial Realm, Pirate Ship, Battlefield, Standing Stones, Castle and having your characters end up Inside a Giant Creature. It includes descriptive details to help you create strong descriptions of these settings, related locations and plot ideas for how to use each setting in different fantasy sub-genres. It also lists the fantasy beings and creatures that might be found in the different settings.

If you would rather start with a fantasy sub-genre and see links to the locations that would work well in it, there is a separate section where you can do just that. For instance, if you write urban fantasy or steampunk you can see a list of interesting settings that would suit those sub-genres.

You will want to adapt the settings given to suit your world and make them unique. For this reason, templates are included at the back that you can use and reuse to create your own versions of the settings or make new ones. These also include a template for creating an entire fantasy world.

With “A-Z of Fantasy Settings” you will never again need to worry about making your locations stand out in readers’ minds. Get your copy now and start creating your best fantasy worlds today.
