World Building, Myth Making and Writing Wizardry

Join Dr LUCY CHRISTOPHER and Dr ISOBELLE CARMODY in conversation about world building, myth making and all the writing wizardry that goes into story creation. Isobelle and Lucy both received their PhDs in Creative Writing in topics to do with setting and world creation – Lucy, with her influences of the natural world, and Isobelle, with her interest in the fantastical. Hear them talk about how place – whether real or imagined – is used in their writing process and learn some tips and writing wizardry to create your own setting-based fantasies.
