Writing Q&A: Fantasy & Romantasy Craft

52 minutes

Spring Book Club is over, and we're kicking off our next adventure: a 10-part literary analysis of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. But before we dive in, we’re answering your writing questions! From worldbuilding to character arcs, best friends Jac and Amy bring their academic training and literary passion to this special Q&A episode for aspiring romantasy writers and curious readers alike.

Whether you're a fan of Sarah J. Maas or looking to refine your own storytelling craft, this episode is packed with thoughtful, educational insight grounded in deep genre knowledge.

Who we are:

Both Jac and Amy hold bachelor's degrees in Creative Writing. Jac also has a Master’s in Comparative Literature, while Amy has a Master’s in Higher Education. With 13 years of combined academic training, we apply literary theory and creative writing frameworks to analyze and understand modern romantasy and help writers elevate their own craft.

If you love smart, bookish conversations about fantasy, romance, and the power of female-centered storytelling, you're in the right place.

What’s next?

We’re starting our Crown of Midnight analysis next week, so now is the perfect time to catch up on our literary breakdowns of A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, and A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas.
