    About this ebook

    Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how much information and how many full-length books there are about writing? Have you ever bought several books on writing, thinking they will make you write better and/or faster, but instead you read and read and push away the time you should spend writing?

    The Busy Author’s Guide series is a series of short ebooks meant for all kinds of writers who don't have time to wade through yet another full-length book when they should be writing.

    This series will provide you with bite-sized help, inspiration, tips, and creative exercises because small steps are easier to tackle than giant leaps.

    In this book, How to Get to Know Your Story’s World with Worldbuilding Questions, you will get questions you can use to brainstorm and/or develop your ideas of the world (fictional or real) where your story takes place. The questions can be used for the creation of a fictional world as well as getting to know a real, existing place. There is also a category of additional questions specified for the creation of an entirely fictional world just to help you if it’s a fictional world you want to create.

    Includes a free download: Setting Workbook

    Kylie Day

    Kylie Day is a lover of books and stories, an avid reader, and a passionate writer. Last time she counted the books in her bookshelves, she had over five hundred of them (the digital library was too extensive to count). While physical books feel magical in her hands — and smell even more magical — she prefers to buy ebooks because she doesn’t have any room for more bookshelves. If she had the money she would buy a library, just to fill it with amazing books.Her love for books is why she, as of the spring of 2015, has a BA in literature. She could never see her life progressing in any other way since that first time she picked up a book and read it with fervor as well as stuck her nose in it just to smell the magic on the pages.Now Kylie is chasing her childhood dream of becoming an author. The Busy Author’s Guide-series is a series of short ebooks that is meant to help others with the same dream.
