Choosing the right setting can supercharge your book sales. Some people read a book just for its setting. A good setting can lead to spin-off products like board games, art books, coloring books, calendars, comic books, and even movies.
Setting not only turns people on to a story, but it also turns people off.
Every author must answer the question, “How can I place my story in a setting that readers want to spend time in?” And the answer to that question is an art and practice called worldbuilding.
In this week’s episode, you’ll hear from Seth Ring, an author and expert worldbuilder. He co-hosts the WorldCraft Club podcast and teaches people how to build the worlds for their stories.
You’ll learn

  • Three techniques for building a captivating world
  • How to choose the right setting for your readers
  • How setting can impact sales and reader enjoyment

Listen in or check out the blog to discover the power of creating immersive settings that captivate readers, leave a lasting impact, and boost book sales.
