World Anvil is an online worldbuilding platform where writers, game masters, and creators organize everything about their fictional universes in one place, from maps and timelines to characters, cultures, and lore. For fantasy readers, it’s like stepping behind the curtain of a novel: you can explore the deeper history of a world, uncover hidden details about characters and kingdoms, and follow stories in a more interactive, immersive way. Signing up lets readers engage with worlds beyond the page, track ongoing series, and sometimes even interact with creators and communities who are building those worlds in real time.

Jason Knightman, author of A Thread of Waking Light, has a site there. Joining World Anvil to explore Jason Knightman’s El Darin world gives readers a far deeper, more immersive experience than a traditional book alone. Instead of just following a single narrative, readers can dive into interconnected lore, exploring characters, histories, locations, and cultures through linked articles, timelines, and interactive maps that reveal the full scope of the world. Signing up allows fans to navigate the story at their own pace, uncover hidden details, and experience the richness of the setting in a way that feels exploratory and personal, almost like stepping inside the world itself rather than simply reading about it.

As we continue on with our Pass the Mic features, I’m planning a future event with Jason. Would you be interested in learning more about World Anvil and the benefits it has for authors? Drop me a comment and let me know.
