Setting: An Interview with Andrew Irvine

Episode 012

Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary podcast and our next guest on the podcast. I am really excited for you guys to meet him. Andrew and I met in uni while we were studying psychology and since then we have had a healthy back and forth competitive friendship built on chasing each other’s word counts.

In this interview Andy and I talk about all things setting and the importance of how integral setting is to the story. We also cover a different kind of setting, a societal setting that is something that most fantasy authors come across. It’s that one piece of law that makes the story different to the real world.

I hope you guys come along for the journey that is the chat about the setting, where we take the long and windy route through the questions. There are also plenty of outtakes to come because we couldn’t stop laughing and joking all the way through.
