Prats asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

The book I've read the most is definitely The Traitor's Game, and half the reason is that Antora is a fabulous world. How did you come up with it, and what was your world building process? (I'm trying to wrote a story based in the sky, and I'd be thrilled if it turned out half as good as your worlds!) I LOVE your writing. Can't wait for The Shattered Castle and Black Ink!

Jennifer A. Nielsen Thank you, Prats. With world building, the trick is to ask questions about everything - and get into the details. Most likely, the majority of your world will have similarities with our world so don't focus on where it's the same. Focus Ono what is different and unique. Try to create a world that readers have not seen already - make it your own. Good luck!
