For The Happy Writer's first ever bonus writing craft episode, Marissa chats with friend, author, and long-term critique partner Tamara Moss (LINTANG AND THE PIRATE QUEEN) about: Worldbuilding! From maps to politics, trade industries to natural resources, Tamara breaks down her in-depth approach to constructing complex fantasy worlds. Also discussed are some of our favorite worldbuilding resources, including Google images, Pinterest, fantasy name generators, Google Maps' streetview function, and more.

Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer
