Create a fictional world readers will long to return to

• Make it rich in imaginative detail.  What are the customs, societal norms, histories of the places your book series will explore? 

• Make this parallel world contrasted with our own, real world. This makes the parallel world even more intriguing and distinctive.

• What sets your fictional world apart from other places? What is its unique character?

• Often, a fictional world offers something readers can’t get from real life.
