What do shoes, cephalopods, and tea have in common? They’re all some of today’s guest’s favorite things. We’re pleased to introduce the one and only Gail Carriger: multiple NYT bestselling author of urban fantasy, steampunk, supernatural, science fiction, and non-fiction. Gail’s background as an archaeologist has helped shape her worldbuilding, and her insights to crafting character and setting are uniquely insightful.
How do you write a hug, make readers laugh, and keep them tearing through the pages? What makes a long-running joke or a character feel like your best friend? Get ready to take notes as Gail’s gives us tips and tales ranging from witty banter in fiction, Firefly stories, and author business advice.
In Part Two, We Discuss:
- Writers as fans and author behavior
- The evolution of worldbuilding across a series, and using worldbuilding as a pacing tool
- Using food in SFF genres
- Giving new functions to existing forms in alternate history and steampunk: historical customs, fashion, and technology
- The Heroine’s Journey
- Building your worlds and stories around personal passions
