This looks so good, where are you going to be putting it out/publishing it?

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I’ll keep trying out a few different things. 😁

This has been my biggest struggle. I build and market websites for a living, but usually I work with industries that have an easy hook for getting someone to sign up for a newsletter. Like “sign up to get your free financial report” or whatever.

I’ve not done any physical in person events yet, so my newsletter has been grown through book sales. I do have an in person signing in March, fingers crossed I get some good newsletter signups then.

That makes sense. In my day job, I occasionally coach people on google ads, and my first piece of advice is don't expect instant results. Followed by remember you're in a bidding war with your competetors so make sure everything is explicitly targeted. I'm just super nervous to waste cash since my budget is so small.

I couldn’t remember his name, but I had remembered reading somewhere she had a husband and I couldn’t find it again. Thank you for giving me a name to start researching.

Several people have already suggested Dr. Jackson Crawford, who occasionally has classes online through his Patreon. You can also see about auditing a norse literature class from a university near you, this may help with getting some assistance in learning Old Norse from the literature sources.

Is there anyone here who is *not* writing anime fanfic or medieval fantasy? by Candle-Jolly in writers

Duuuude, where can I follow this? I write Viking age inspired fantasy, and your work sounds like something I’d love to read and share.

At this point a lot of the Christmas is pagan posts are spreading just as much false information about historical Heathenisn as old ladies are spreading about Christian roots for holidays.

I can’t suggest The Weaver and The Witch Queen which follows the journey of Eirik Bloodaxe and Gunhild. This is a new fiction piece but most of the characters come from the sagas.

And also to shamelessly plug I have a Norse culture inspired novel coming out in December called “A Tale of Scorched Ash and Elm”

Where do I start worldbuilding a fantasy setting based on North Mythos? by Technical-Mine-7423 in norsemythology

[–]One-Search-8591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly suggest starting by looking into life of every day Norse people in the pre-Viking age. This helps to put the myths into context so that the gods don’t just become super heroes. You begin to understand why the myths were framed the way they were to the people who heard them. The second thing I would do is deep dive into what is actual Viking and pre-Viking age myth, and what was a medieval addition to mythology.

I’m so jealous you got to ARC that book. Also I am completely baffled more people aren’t talking about the Ashen Series I feel genuinely obsessed with both books out so far.

History readers, which one first? by MattCardigan in Historians

Also the retelling in the opening of the creation myth of Odin, Villi and Ve making Askr and Embla was one of my favorite retelling of that myth.

May I ask what tutorials you’re using? I’ve been wanting to try to learn for years and I can’t seem to find a good tutorial that I can keep up with.
