The audiobook is set to be released in four parts and represents an introduction to the world of writing and the process of creating a story. It covers the basics from character profiles, to plots, structure, and other elements that go into crafting a story of your own.

Timothy Hickson is the author of a number of books that all explore the worldbuilding process and how authors can use the creative process to create a unique, interesting and believable story. His latest release is On Writing and Worldbuilding: Volume I narrated by Merphy Napier and Larissa Thompson, which delves into the author's thought processes before he begins writing.

Oftentimes, to write a well-developed world, the author needs to create innumerable new words and phrases. The vocabulary needed is vast and sometimes difficult to keep track of. That's where glossaries come in handy; they are a great resource for learning new words and phrases. A glossary can be as simple as having a list of key words that are important to understanding the world or culture that you're writing about.

On Writing and Worldbuilding: Volume I is a short work consisting of five lectures on the author's process of worldbuilding. Specifically, it endeavors to garner wisdom from five different authors- Timothy Hickson, Larissa Thompson, Franscois Martin du Gard, J.R.R Tolkien, and Margaret Atwood- in order to better understand the craft of worldbuilding and writing. The audiobook was recorded in 2008 but is still highly relevant today due to its emphasis on creating world building skills through interaction with other authors and their respective writing styles.

Worldbuilding, for the layman, is about creating an interesting and believable fictional world in which to set a story. There are all kinds of different approaches and tools that people use when doing worldbuilding, from physical maps and information on the creatures to social structures, political systems, and religious practices.

This audiobook is loaded with incredible insights. There are so many wonderful ideas that I have never dealt with before - and I've been writing for years! Timothy Hickson's books are a must read for all authors. No matter what level of experience you are at, this audiobook will inform, inspire and educate you.
