I love using World Anvil! When my lore-brain is running amok in a thousand directions, it helps me capture all those thoughts, connect, and structure them into a world that feels real and coherent. Plus the community is an endless well of inspiration!
As a multi-media publisher of an original fantasy world, we needed a central resource for our artists, writers, and game designers. World Anvil has been the perfect solution... Its easy-to-use features allow for a ton of flexibility and creativity (especially the interactive maps!)
I'm using World Anvil to provide my patrons and fans with an online encyclopedia of all my creations (including all the art I made for it). Next to all it's practical uses, the platform itself and the community has lit a worldbuilding fire inside me that inspired me to create so much more content for others to enjoy!
My overall book sales have grown by 300% in 2 months! Using World Anvil’s tools, I created a dedicated book page connected to the rest of my interactive world and the sales immediately jumped! Best creative investment I’ve made since 2005...
In good company
