So, you love Fantasy. You have read your fair share of J.R.R. Tolkein, Terry Brooks, Margaret Weiss, R.A. Salvatore, and Anne McCaffrey. You attend conventions across the country and hang on every word spoken from authors you follow and authors you discover. Then somewhere between watching your Super-Ultra-Platinum-Hyper-Enhanced-Cyber-Interactive-Extended DVD of Lord of the Rings and purchasing season tickets for your neighborhood Renaissance Festival, an idea hits you. The idea hits you hard, so hard that you cannot sleep at night. You have to write it. You need to write it.
But here's the catch. You don't know how to write it. You see moments. You have vivid ideas. But you don't know how to make your idea happen.
When you need a little guidance, The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy, edited by Darin Park and Tom Dullemond, is your user-friendly, how-to, and highly entertaining guide for creating your own epic fantasy adventure.
Written by new and established voices of Science Fiction and Fantasy, The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy offers something for writers at all levels. If you feel the need for help in creating a believable world, serving up an authentic meal, add a bit of humor into your adventure, or flavor your fight sequences with fists of fury and firearms, this is a resource you will want to add to your library. For the beginner, its sage advice will help you avoid many amateur mistakes. For the published fantasy writer, its enjoyable style and wealth of reference material still makes The Complete Guide a must have.
Explore World Building, Religions, Food, Fighting & Weaponry, and much more, to craft an exceptional story.
The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy is available at bookstores everywhere and online at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com,
and directly from Dragon Moon Press.
