In this episode, we put our very own co-host Karissa Riffel in the hot seat!

We explore how to write fantasy and some of the subgenres within. We talk world building, magic systems, and how long fantasy novels tend to be.

If you've ever wondered about the different facets of fantasy books, wanted to try your hand at writing one, or even wanted to know the difference between YA and Adult fantasy, you won't want to miss this episode, complete with fantasy recs.
