Key Terms

World-building: The process of creating an invented setting, including its geography, history, cultures and rules, so that it feels consistent and convincing to the reader.
Setting: The time and place where a story happens, which can be real, partly based on reality or completely imagined by the author.
Secondary world: A fully invented world that exists separately from our own, often reached through a journey, portal or other story device.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What counts as a fictional place in a book?

A fictional place is any location invented by the author, such as an imaginary country, city, school or planet. It may be loosely inspired by real places but does not exist in reality.

How do writers make imaginary worlds feel believable?

Writers use consistent details, such as maps, local customs, climate and everyday routines. They also show how characters react to these surroundings, which helps readers accept the world as real.

Why are fictional settings important when studying literature?

Fictional settings shape the mood, limit or expand what characters can do and often reflect ideas the author wants to explore, such as power, inequality, hope or environmental change.
