Solid character and world building allows writers to create a natural richness in their stories and often makes later stages of novel writing go more smoothly. This workshop will cover various aspects of character and setting creation and how to organize information into a story bible for future reference.

Patricia Gilliam is the author of Extinguished Worlds (time travel/superhero), The Hannaria Series (sci-fi), and Heroes of Corvus (urban fantasy/superhero). She is also a contributor to several anthologies and the creator of Seriescraft 101 character and world-building resources.

Along with many global writers, artists, musicians, and other creatives, a collection of her works will be included in three lunar time capsules (Intuitive Machine’s Nova-C, Astrobiotic’s Peregrine, and Astrobiotic’s Griffin landers) through Writers on the Moon and The Lunar Codex archives in 2023.
