Helping you write better fantasy books 🧙 On this channel, I share the best fantasy writing advice that I've learned from publishing four novels and a video game. My books include Kingdom of Dragons, The Thunder Heist, Across the Broken Stars, and Fires of the Dead. I also wrote Siege of Treboulain (an interactive fantasy novel published by Choice of Games). Through my classes and programs, I've worked with 200+ fantasy writers to help them improve their stories. This has given me a lot of insight into the most common struggles that new fantasy writers face. I run this channel to share my learnings.
