À propos de cet audio
Today on Fantasy Writing for Barbarians, we’re diving into the brutal art of the prologue—how to do it right, how to do it wrong, and why so many fantasy authors start their books in the worst possible place. We’re putting a fellow author's submitted prologue under the microscope, dissecting its opening scene with the precision of a literary agent on their third cup of coffee. What works? What flops? And most importantly, does this prologue actually serve the story, or is it just an excuse to dump lore?
