There is no right or wrong way to world build. If you ask a thousand authors how they create their world, they will all tell you something different. This is not a book that needs to be completed all at once, or even totally filled out. It is a work in progress that aims to help you with your story.

As the author of a series with over 900 worlds in it, and a detailed, six generation deep family tree for an entire island of people, I’m rather practiced at world building, and thought I’d share my process with you. Of course, this has been adapted, and you’re more than free to take white out to the bits you don’t want to complete (or just ignore them for now, they may spark ideas later on!)

Use this workbook to create your own worlds and give them depth in the story you write.
