We are thrilled to announce that the first part of Amy Laurens’ epic worldbuilding handbook (for writers and gamers and amateur geographers!), in the works since 2013, finally has both a cover and a release date:
Welcome to the world, How To Create Cultures!
Coming January 17, 2019!
Did you know that all cultures are a direct product of their environment? Do you know why? Better yet, do you know how an environment is likely to shape the culture that develops there, in order to make your own worldbuilding both rich and plausible?
How To Create Cultures is here to help!
In this comprehensive-researched, easy-to-read book, learn all the major biomes and climate zones you can expect to find either on Earth or in your fictional world, and the kind of plant and animal life you are likely to find in each of these zones (and why). Even better, learn what human cultures are likely to look like in each of these zones, and why cultures are likely to evolve this way to survive and thrive in their environment!
A complete worldbuilding primer for a culture in any given environment! Use it as a springboard for developing your own ideas, or pick and mix from the options given for a minimum-fuss ready-to-go cultural milieu that you know will feel seamlessly integrated into its environment.
Appropriate for authors, gamers, and amateur geographers alike!
