#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
These writers may make fantasy look effortless, but building a whole new world is anything but easy. Bringing their very different perspectives to research and worldbuilding, these authors talk about their mythic inspirations, and the invisible work that goes into writing that leaps off the page.
Supported by Griffith University
Event update: unfortunately C.S. Pacat and Amie Kaufman are no longer able to attend the festival. Instead, Vanessa Len will be appearing as a panellist.
