Let us tell you something we know for sure - fantasy storytelling is big business these days. Look at examples like Iron Flame and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Let us let you in on what we don't know - that is, how to make money creating fantasy stories. Fortunately, authors Terry Brooks and Veronica Roth absolutely know how... and they decided to let us in on their secrets.

At Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con 2024, the authors of the Shannara Chronicles and Divergent series took part in a panel called Building Bestselling Worlds. But if you couldn't make it, dont worry - you can still learn what tips they had to share just by being a Popverse paid member.

Popverse filmed the ECCC 2024 Building Bestselling Worlds panel with Terry Brooks and Veronica Roth, and is available to watch now exclusively for paid Poperse members - as part of a broader rollout of over a dozen new panels from ECCC 2024 in addition to the livestreamed ECCC 2024 Main Stage panels.
