Emilie asked K.M. Weiland:

How do you go about worldbuilding for your fantasy novels? I love fantasy, but I often don't even know where to start when worldbuilding.

K.M. Weiland I've written some about my fantasy worldbuilding process here: https://www.helpingwritersbecomeautho...

Your stand-alone novels are so rich and vivid; have you ever or would you consider writing a trilogy or a series, either from completely new material or by using your already published works as first installments or prequels?

Shelby Suderman asked K.M. Weiland:

Are you working on another novel?

Alyssa asked K.M. Weiland:

What would be an appropriate ballpark number of words for a YA debut novel? I hear writers don't have as many words to work with until they are published.
