SUMMARY:Ed Talk: Worldbuilding 101
DESCRIPTION:You might think that the idea of worldbuilding applies only to science fiction or fantasy writers. Not at all! \nWhether you write about our world or a fantasy one\, worldbuilding is all about creating the “where” of your story. Worldbuilding encompasses not only the reality that your characters find themselves in\, but also the effect of that reality on their inner lives: their beliefs\, cultural assumptions and even what they might know about the place they live in. \nRegardless of the genre you may write\, worldbuilding is essential for helping your novel\, short story or screenplay come alive on the page. \nCome join Cranbrook-raised author Andrew Boden for an evening of fictional worldbuilding. Andrew will introduce you to some critical tools to help you build your fictional world and help you plan the “where” of your next fiction project. The focus will be on writing historical fiction\, but the techniques you’ll learn can help any writer create their fictional reality. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM\, and tea and coffee will be served. \nREGISTER HERE \nWednesday\, July 30 | 7:00–8:30 PM | Registration is FREE! \nSpeaker Bio: \nAndrew’s fiction and non-fiction has been published in numerous magazines and anthologies\, including the Journey Prize anthology. His debut novel When We Were Ashes (Goose Lane Editions) was shortlisted for the Amazon Canada First Novel Award in 2025. Andrew is also the author of the short story collection The Secret History of My Hometown and the co-editor of a groundbreaking collection of essays on mental health — Hidden Lives: Coming Out on Mental Illness. He lives in Burnaby\, British Columbia.
