The On Writing and Worldbuilding series is here to change that. Volume III covers a whole new array of topics with applicable, clear, and practical discussions, be it writing character descriptions, compelling dialogue, or worldbuilding cities and towns for your world. While written with an edge for science fiction and fantasy, the help found in this book applies to all genres. Volume III stands entirely independent of the first two volumes with its own discussions.With all this and more, On Writing and Worldbuilding is fundamental for anyone developing their skills in the writing craft.ON WRITINGCharacter descriptionsDeath scenesDialogueSubtext in dialogueDarkest hoursPlot armourEnvironmental descriptionsElemental magic systemsAntiheroesParagon heroesON WORLDBUILDINGDeath and the afterlifeCities and townsMountainsIsland civilisationsFallen civilisations
