About this listen

Following the immense success of Volume I with over 35,000 copies sold, On Writing and Worldbuilding: Volume II brings a host of new topics to table in even more detail and depth. Writing advice tends to be full of "rules" and "tips" which are either too broad to be helpful or outright wrong.

Aimed at specific, applicable, and practical discussions, from writing fight scenes to first-person narration to hard and soft worldbuilding, Volume II is a "must have".

Narrator has delightful voice

better than binging the author's youtube channel like a creep when I have insomnia. I'm an epic fan of Tim Hickson (the author) because I learn SO MUCH.
