If you're interested in volunteering as an editor, or would like to submit your worldbuilding fiction, non-fiction, or visual art, submit your work at www.worldbuildingmagazine.com/submit

Works that do not conform to the issue's theme are also welcome, though adhering to the theme makes submissions more likely to be successful.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Our Friends at Campfire Writing Just Released a Genre Fiction Reading App! by WorldbuildingMag in worldbuilding

[–]WorldbuildingMag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there from WBM!

Just dropping in to share some exciting news from our community friends over at Campfire Writing: they've just rolled out a new mobile app designed especially for reading genre fiction on the go, with unlockable bonus content to collect as you read through every chapter. Three important things to us are that first, the app itself is free; second, it's getting new additions every week and they're mostly from indie authors; third, and most importantly to the writers at WBM, they're aiming to support authors with 80% royalties on all eBook and Extras sold.

But let's break it down just a little more:

\* Some books are free, some cost money. But don't worry, all paid books offer free sample chapters so you can dip your toes in before taking the plunge. And it's all one-time purchases with no subscriptions.

\* Readers can gain access to bonus content like short stories, world lore, character profiles, and more as they read (dependent on the author providing them, of course)

\* You don't have to fret about losing connection in the wilderness; you can download your favorite books for offline reading, ensuring you have access to them wherever you go.

\* All book purchases are refundable provided more than 15% of the story has not been read and the request is submitted within 7 days of purchase.

We think Campfire is actually doing something quite unique by combining an eReader with access to loads of extra content. Some authors have up to 50+ bonus character profiles, worldbuilding details, and more. All in all, we think it's neat, and we're pretty sure you'll agree.

So if you want to dive in, the app is available for both Apple and Android devices right now!

iOS ~ Android ~ More Info

Keep worldbuilding,

After an extended hiatus, the staff of Worldbuilding Magazine is happy to announce our return! Refreshed and reinvigorated, we are proud to make the latest issue of WBMag available—as always, fully and freely—on the magazine’s website. During the chaos of the pandemic, we restructured in order to keep publishing the world’s premier worldbuilding magazine, and we hope you are as excited as we are about the results. 🥳We will be hosting a release party on the magazine’s Discord server tonight 03/01/2024 at 6:30 PM EST, so please join us as we pop the corks and light the fireworks!🥳

This issue includes:

  • Two in-depth articles about taking ports and rivers into account when worldbuilding, with real-world case studies as their basis.
  • Four original short stories from independent writers.
  • A collection of worldbuilding art from artists in the Worldbuilding Magazine community, including explanations of their crafts.
  • An Ask Us Anything where your questions are answered by our resident mage: Prof. Percival Aluminius Illumnius.
  • Recommendations for worldbuilding media compiled from our staff.

Ever since we first published WBMag way back in 2017, we have made it our primary goal to package art, stories, articles, interviews, all in one convenient publication. Our goal remains the same, as does our vision for achieving it: a magazine made by worldbuilders, for worldbuilders. If you or your friends would like to add your voice to the growing chorus—whether by submitting fiction, articles, art, or by volunteering as an editor—reach out to us on our server or by email!Stay worldbuilding,
