Introduction

In the realm of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, steampunk, etc.), fresh world building is one of the vital ways to attract readers. Fresh world building is cool. World building introduces new concepts and viewpoints that enthrall the mind and make readers spend extra time imagining and living in your story. That can lead to fan art, videos, cosplay, great reviews, and other celebrations of your work.

That being said? Creating ultra-fresh ideas can be a daunting task. A wise man once said there was nothing new under the sun, and he was right, especially in an age where novels are being released by the thousands every day. There are tons of stories about cyborgs, shifters, vampires, aliens, ghosts, space battles, and more retellings of fairy tales and myths than you can imagine.

The same internet you use to promote your world is there for every other author. Same ad services. Same social media platforms. Standing out in the crowd is more pivotal than ever to ensure your story is read.

So, what’s the big secret?

Your goal is not to create an entirely new concept. Your goal is to focus on ways that your world building connects with your worldview, your characters, and your narrative in a style that makes your novel irresistibly unique. Well-integrated world building is like a well-made cake with just the right amount of filling and frosting.

Average world building will make people skim through your Kindle preview, but world building irresistibly fused with a unique worldview combined with compelling characters and narrative will push readers closer to the buy button.

Here are four questions to ask yourself:

1.) Worldview - How does your world building ask theme questions that reflect your view of the universe and resonate with readership?

2.) Characters - How does your world building create compelling characters who have to work through unique issues?

3.) Narrative - How does your world building push your plot forward with conflicts and problems that aren’t found anywhere else?

4.) Genre/Market Expectations - How does your world building measure up to the expectations of your chosen speculative fiction genre and market?

Pretty hefty concepts—but have no fear! Throughout this book, I’ll elaborate on each question and give practical action items to help improve your work. Read straight through or skip to the parts that interest you. Either way, you will come away with ideas to make your story shine brighter!
