Back to where it all began for Ian as he gives a talk with this year's intake.

World building for writers:
Whether you write fantasy or sci-fi, at some point you may need to invent your own world. Another Narnia or Earthsea. And if you've got warp drive, you might be visiting a Tatooine or Gallifrey. Making up imaginary lands is fun. But it's not easy! How do you avoid boring readers with info-dumping? Can you to achieve internal consistency? Is your world original and outstanding? Author Ian C Douglas, the maker of a few make-believe locations himself, will look at methods for building consistent and compelling imaginary worlds, the pitfalls and tools to keep on top.
