Miami’s Writer’s Institute’s Reading and Craft Talk w/Lilliam Rivera- Worldbuilding in Writing for Young People

This craft talk will focus on techniques in worldbuilding in young adult fiction, whether writing a contemporary story set in a small town or an intergalactic story set in Mars. How does one create a world that rings true without falling in to the common missteps of info-dumping and adding confusion to readers? The craft talk will explore the use of world bibles, generating focused content, and utilizing all senses in descriptions. The talk will also analyze excerpts from young adult novels (contemporary, fantasy, science fiction) and critique the various techniques used. Students will leave with tips in creating setting that forges a realistic connection with readers.
