Book description
Forget everything you think you know about writing guides. Timothy Hickson's On Writing and Worldbuilding isn't another list of vague "rules" - it's a masterclass in actionable craft, perfectly delivered as an audiobook. Listen to him unpack why those "show don't tell" tips often fail, and how to actually weave exposition into your narrative like a hidden seam, not a clumsy infodump. He makes complex ideas feel effortlessly clear, like explaining how a villain's specific economic grievance (not just "they're evil") drives the plot, or why a magic system's rules must serve the story, not the other way around.
What truly shines is his focus on the specific. Instead of "build a good world," he dissects how empires actually rise and fall - the trade routes, the communication breakdowns, the tiny details that make a collapsing society feel real. You'll hear him analyze a single sentence that reveals a character's hidden fear, or how a seemingly minor marketplace scene can foreshadow a kingdom's collapse. The "How Empires Fall" section alone is worth the price of admission - it's not history, it's practical storytelling anatomy.
And the exclusive planning section? Pure gold. Hickson walks you through his actual process, making the intimidating "how do I start?" feel manageable. The audiobook format is perfect here; you hear the passion, the clarity, the "aha!" moments as he explains concepts like soft vs. hard magic systems with examples from beloved stories. It's not just advice - it's a conversation with a writer who's been where you are, cutting through the noise to give you the tools you actually need. If you've ever felt stuck writing, this isn't just helpful - it's the guide you've been waiting for, delivered with warmth and razor-sharp insight. Don't just read it; listen to it. Your next draft will thank you.
