ABOUT THE SHOW

Please note this session is currently only open for school bookings. General Public tickets will be available from 05 AUG.

Join fantasy author and former worldbuilding sceptic Bori Cser for a primer on constructing the settings for your stories.

Hear how Bori created the Renaissance-inspired world of her debut novel Mirrorwoven and learn just how rewarding and fun it can be to use history, the world around you, and your curiosity and imagination to build fantastical worlds of your own.

This event includes a Q&A session at the end.

Supported by The University of Queensland.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
