Worldbuilding is for everyone! It&rsquo\;s not just for writers of genre fiction. Even in realistic stories\, a well -developed setting sets the foundation for everything built on top of it. In this workshop\, you&rsquo\;ll learn to walk the fine balance between un der-developing and over-writing your world and create a solid sense of pla ce that securely tethers readers so your plot can soar. This event is part of the first annual Lilac City Book Festival. \;
