Have you ever wanted to create your world but felt overwhelmed and just gave up? Or maybe you’re a writer wanting to bring some diversity to your story or even looking for some depth to your written story; then this book is for you. We talk to co-author and anthropologist Michael Kilman about his book Build Better Worlds: Introduction to Anthropology for Game Designers, Fiction Writers, and Filmmakers. We discuss everything from how anthropology can impact your narrative to why conflict from outside forces can make your world more authentic. So if you’re a world builder like me or even someone who wants to understand the world around them better, then this is the book for you.

Maccabee & Marccella Podcasters

Maccabee is a husband of 19 yrs, father of two boys, Army vet, voice actor, writer, and podcast co-host of Beyond the Pen. Growing up in the theater and working as a voice actor, script analysis has been a critical skill he's been perfecting over the years. This skill has allowed him to look past what the author wants you to see and discover the truth between the words and the printed paper. Every story is unique, and so are the authors.

Marccella, a self-proclaimed bookworm, is an advocate for authors and their unique voices. Since learning to read at aged 6, Marccella could be found in the library with her nose in a good book. As an avid reader, Marccella recognized that there was untapped potential in the author community and was decidedly committed to creating valuable spaces to have conversations with writers of all genres. As a result, Marccella united with Maccabee (her brother from another mother) to further her vision of expanding the reach of authors and their audience.
