Well, that’s a wrap! Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored the power of names; how they shape tone, reveal culture, and carry plenty of narrative weight. From mythic titles to naming patterns, from cities to ceremonial renamings, you’ve journeyed with me through a worldbuilder’s toolkit of language.
And now… it’s yours to keep.
Naming the World: A Mini Guide to Creating Names in Fantasy Worldbuilding is out now!
This brand new mini guide collects the entire series (plus two extra exclusive chapters) in one resource designed for dipping into whenever you need the right name, fast.
Whether you're naming a mountain range, a goddess, or an underground tavern, this guide will help you:
Craft names that feel authentic and intentional
Build consistent naming patterns across regions and cultures
Reflect beliefs, values, and histories through language
Explore how names shift and evolve over time, across translations and character arcs
It’s quick to read, rich with ideas, and packed with worldbuilding insight.
Get it today, before its general release!
The ebook is available right now in my webstore. The wider digital release (Amazon, Kobo, etc) will be on 29th August, so if you want it straight away, grab it direct from me (which also gives me more of the royalties).
Or if you’re like me, and prefer something more tactile, you can grab the paperback version from Amazon.
Thank you so much to everyone who followed along with the series, it’s been such a joy to write. If this helped you name something (or rename something!), I’d love to hear about it.
