At the beginning of the magazine’s life, a collaboratively built world called Postantera (World Anvil page) made appearances in earlier issues of the magazine. It has long since fallen to the wayside, but building a world together as a community seemed like a natural outgrowth from a community like ours. However, rather than revive Postantera, we’ve decided to build a new world from scratch.
It’s been two weeks since we unveiled the first issue of Volume 3, Death & Taxes. I’d like to say that the team and I took a collective breather after all that work, but that would be a complete lie. The next issue is in production and we’re planning for the one after it already. However, first we would all just like to say thank you to the team who put Death & Taxes together, and to our readers for giving us such a powerful response.
We’re starting out 2019 by looking at universal absolutes and the start of an entirely new volume of Worldbuilding Magazine issues. So, new year, new volume, new issue, new policies, new design…and you’re getting a sneak peek right here.
Welcome to the last blog post before we release our Magic issue! Everyone is very busy—the final illustrations are coming in, the editing team is wrapping up, and the writers have already gotten a head start on their drafts for our next issue in February. And now, in the hours before the layout team gets let loose to build the final document, let’s look at the Art Department.
It’s already November. That came up quick.
November means a lot of things. Snow (although it already snowed for me last week), an insanely busy holiday season, and the beginning of the end of the annual pumpkin-spice craze. November also means that we’re about halfway to the final issue of 2018, deep in the editing stages.
Hello, worldbuilders, and thanks for giving our latest issue such a warm reception. Aside from Creatures, this was our most viewed edition to date. We’ve consistently grown in both size and readership each issue, and hope to continue that trend as we move forward.
Here at Worldbuilding Magazine, they keep us writers chained to small, uncomfortable desks. Although isolated from the outside world, I can feel the excitement in the air. The October issue on Cartography & Navigation is almost ready to release.
As we enter the month of September, editing is well under way for Volume 2 Issue 5 of Worldbuilding Magazine. Take a glimpse at our process behind the scenes and at what’s to come in the next issue!
