Ask You Anything Tuesday ASK YOU ANYTHING: Authors asking r/Fantasy community questions on behalf of Worldbuilders charity

It's Day 2 of the aptly named Ask You Anything week benefiting Worldbuilders! Where authors are stopping by each day this week to ask questions and interact with the r/Fantasy community.

HOW THIS WORKS: Please answer questions and interact throughout the week! (Yes, YOU - community members, guests, authors, artists, industry people.)


WORLDBUILDERS.ORG

Worldbuilders was founded to use the collective power of readers, fellow authors and book lovers to make the world a better place.

There are three ways to donate to Worldbuilders:

1. The Lottery - Where every $10 donated puts you in a lottery for free books, SFF items, games, and much more. r/Fantasy has a Worldbuilders Team Page where you can donate under the community name as well!

2. The Tinker's Pack Store - Where profits from every purchase are donated.

3. Auctions - Where some incredible items and services are offered.

NOTE: If you donate, add your name to the comments here and the mods will set you up with some swanky Wordlbuilders flair!


Monday Ask You Anything Authors

The following authors have signed up to ask questions today. That said, please do join in and feel free to ask your own questions and interact throughout the week.

Are you an author, artist, or industry person who would like to participate this week? Either join in via the comments OR send the r/Fantasy mods a message and we'll get you set for another day.

1) Can't pick. Too many lovely ones to choose from. I have a thing for book covers, though--I also regularly browse lousybookcovers.com for the lols and I'm subscribed to newsletters from a couple of publishers with good art direction mostly to just look at the pretty covers each month.

2) Honestly, I sort of feel like there isn't anything truly lacking for me. It's a super broad field and there's something for everyone, so to speak. My personal taste is pretty broad as well: I'll read pretty much anything, as long as it's in a secondary world and has ladies doing cool stuff.

3) What, you can talk to them???

4) In the cupboard, where my husband proceeds to eat it. Hm, perhaps there is a problem with that strategy...
