If you're writing fantasy, I want to invite you to my brand new free training called how to write a fantasy novel that works.

You'll hear me talk about things like the number one decision you need to make before you start outlining or writing your book that will save you tons of time and effort,

plus the reason why so many fantasy authors have trouble finishing their drafts and what you can do to avoid making this mistake.

And of course we're going to talk about world building so how to

focus on the key elements of your story world and then how to link those elements to

So if you want to join me for free go to savanna gilbo.com forward slash fantasy
