Orbit Panel “Creating Otherworldly Cultures”
For part of Orbit Books’s “How to Write Your First SFF Novel” event series, I was part of a panel covering “Creating Otherworldly Cultures,” joining wonderful science fiction and fantasy authors Ann Leckie, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, and Davinia Evans. If you registered for the event, the replay is available to watch now.
“Many fantasy and science fiction series feature characters who are not humans from our world—whether they’re aliens, faeries, or simply humans who live in a world created just for the book. On this panel, several authors will discuss the process of building a new culture from scratch, building on real-world inspiration and making fictional cultures both authentically alien and relatable to readers.”
