Creating Otherworldly Cultures by Orbit LIVE! - Featuring: Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Creating Otherworldly Cultures By Orbit LIVE! (part of the series, Orbit Presents: How To Write Your First SFF Novel; https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/orbit-books/how-to-write-your-first-sff-novel/?lens=orbit
Featuring Ann Leckie, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, Essa Hansen, and Davinia Evans
Many fantasy and science fiction series feature characters who are not humans from our world—whether they’re aliens, faeries, or simply humans who live in a world created just for the book. On this panel, several authors will discuss the process of building a new culture from scratch, building on real-world inspiration and making fictional cultures both authentically alien and relatable to readers.
