Urban Fantasy Course
Build a Modern Fantasy World Readers Will Never Want to Leave
Your story idea may begin with a witch in a city apartment, a monster hunter working the night shift, or a hidden magical society operating beneath an ordinary neighborhood.
But turning that spark into a complete urban fantasy novel takes more than an exciting premise. You need a believable modern world, compelling supernatural rules, characters readers care about, and a story structure strong enough to support the next book.
In this four-week interactive masterclass, USA Today Bestselling Author Kat Campbell will guide you through the process of building an urban fantasy novel from the ground up. You’ll explore worldbuilding, magic systems, supernatural creatures, character development, plotting, reader expectations, series potential, branding, and market positioning.
You’ll also help construct an original urban fantasy story alongside the class, allowing you to see each creative decision come together in real time—and giving you a process you can repeat for your own books.

I enjoyed this course very much, and it has helped give me new things to think about when crafting my own work. Thanks so much for putting it together!
One of the things I most wanted to improve was the heat factor in intense scenes, really building up that fire. And I thought the class helped with that a ton!
