TED ed about World Building by Kate Messner

[Herobizkit]

This came to me via the FB group World Building Academy. In it, author Kate Messer talks about what sorts of questions she asks herself when designing a new world and how it shapes the story she's about to tell.

If you hit the Dig Deeper section of the page, there are few other helpful links to be found as well.

I was going to post something like "I don't know what books she has written, but now I kinda want to read them", but then I looked her up and realized I did read Spitfire, which is great (naval warfare in 1776).
