Fantasy is one of the greatest genres for a writer to tackle, as it helps us escape from the disaster that is our personal lives. However, if you want to succeed as a fantasy writer, there are a lot of mistakes you need to avoid.
From lore dumps to overreliance on the heroes journey to confessing to cuckolding your business partner, there's a lot of things you need to be aware of as a new writer. I hope my advice can help you navigate these obstacles so you won't be forced to work with a publisher who pays you in Apple gift cards.
