  • World-building with Kids
    Nov 8 2022

    As Nanowrimo (National Novel Month) ramps up, Moms, Books, and Magic is diving into a whole new world. Building an entirely new world is already daunting, now how do you fit children into that narrative? Each piece of a fantasy world is a building block one upon the other. (Good thing little kids know how to stack blocks!) To our great delight, we got to discuss the challenge of creating a fantasy world with the author of Tales of the Outlaw Mages, Amy Campbell!


    Use your children's creative ideas and get excited about world-building with us!

  • Writing Characters as Parents
    Oct 18 2022

    For the fourth episode of Moms, Books, and Magic, we're talking about the realities of writing a character that is also a parent. How does an author fit parenting into a fantasy world? Should diapers be included between the magic? We had the pleasure of discussing this topic with an author who has successfully weaved motherhood into her fantasy books, Isabelle Markus! Her Thief of Destiny Duology has a mother main character.
