Building Believable Worlds: Immersion Beyond the Page

A setting isn't just where your story happens—it's a tool for deepening character, driving plot, and creating an unforgettable reading experience. This session will show you how to build worlds that feel lived-in and real, regardless of genre.
What You'll Learn:
•        How to make your setting an active force in your story.
•        How to use research without info-dumping (even in historical fiction).
•        How to engage all five senses to create immersive, textured environments.

Great worldbuilding doesn't draw attention to itself—it pulls readers in and doesn't let go.
