Fantasy Fiction Writing

Dear Fellow Writer,

We’d like to invite you now to join us on a voyage of discovery – as we announce the highly anticipated: Academy Fantasy Fiction Writing Course.

This brand new, up to the minute home writing pack extends over six modules and takes you on a breathtaking tour around the imagination.

Fantasy is all about the strange, the fantastic, the beautiful and the amazing. Here is your chance to explore the fascinating worlds of others and begin to create your own.

Over the six modules you will learn about everything from world building to creating races and cultures, from plotting to characterisation, from questing to role playing – you name it, if it’s Fantasy related, you’ll experience it, in depth, up close and personal.

Course Contents

Module 1. Imagining Fantasy

Introduction. History. Definitions. Getting started as a Fantasy writer.

Module 2. World Building, Mapping and Visualization.

How to build enduring civilizations, create maps, large and small and how to keep building on your Fantasy world.

Module 3. Characters, Races, and Societies

How to create characters. Heroes, antagonists, elves, dwarves, dragons, knights, wizards, magi, etc – but also other less conventional characters. How to structure societies using your own ‘rules’ and ‘laws’.

Module 4. Plotting, Questing and Travelling

The importance of having obstacles to overcome, personal and mythological. How to keep the reader fully involved with your quest and your own imaginary world.

Module 5. POV, Artefacts and Magic

Who’s telling the story? And why? What relationship do the characters have to artefacts in your story? How believable is your magic? Also, the important difference between exposition and ‘info-dumping’.

Module 6. Resolutions and Sequels

Who is left in control and why? What measures have you taken to ensure that the story is resolved, and or fit for continuation? When is a Fantasy story over?

Enroll now and you’ll receive in the depth lessons, as much personal feedback on your exercises as you need, and a heap of useful bonus items.
