September 2023: How Much Worldbuilding Do I Really Need? R-SPEC, Rochester Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror

A fundamental rule of speculative fiction is to craft believable worlds that create a strong sense of place for your characters and your readers. Yet, if you solved all the aspects a world or worlds require, you may have written an encyclopedia. But, what about the story or novel you wanted to write?

On September 5, we invite you to share your worldbuilding ideas and join in a discussion with the R-SPEC Team about how much worldbuilding is considered enough.

  • Moderator: R-SPEC Team
  • Location: In person at Barnes & Noble, Pittsford and on Zoom.
    (Please join us at least 10 minutes before the 7:00 p.m. start time to ensure a good connection.)
  • Meeting Time: Tuesday, September 5, 2023 from 6:30-8:45 p.m.
    • Open chat 6:30-7:00 p.m.
    • Meeting 7:00-8:45 p.m.
    • Close meeting: 8:45 (or sooner to break down the Community Room before the store closes)

Note: R-SPEC presentations on topics of interest may be recorded, and a link to the recording posted on our website.
