How to share your backstory without info dumps. When you’re writing about fantastic worlds, it’s key to explain to the reader how your world works. But readers don’t want to read info dumps that stop the story movement. Find out ways to share backstory that won’t stop the action.
  • How to decide what is important to share with the reader and when.
  • Ways to share backstory when you’re writing fantasy or scifi romance (or stories with romantic elements)
  • How to determine what an info dump is and what it isn’t when sharing information.
Class Format
Savvy Authors' workshops are held on a forum: a bulletin board based system. You will receive a reminder notice one day prior to the start of the workshop that includes instructions on how to access the workshop forum. If you have not received instructions by the day the workshop begins, please check your spam filter.

The forum will be available the morning (EST) of the day the workshop starts and will remain accessible to all participants thereafter. You will also be given simple instructions on how to create a PDF of all your discussions along with our privacy and data retention policy.
