Every book you write is part of a world and you need to know as much as possible about the world before you start writing—but be prepared to pivot! So how do you build a fictional world (whether contemporary, paranormal, fantasy, or historical etc) that sets your story up well and captures readers imaginations? A long-time friend of the SPA Girls, Nalini Singh talked with us about worldbuilding in 2022 and her evergreen craft advice is just as relevant today! New York Times and internationally bestselling author of the Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter series of paranormal romances, Nalini also writes New Zealand-set thrillers, the next one coming out in January 2026, Such A Perfect Family. Her contemporary romances include the Rock Kiss and Hard Play series, the latter of which revolves around a rugby-loving family in Auckland. Nalini's books have hit the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal Bestseller lists numerous times over the past two decades. The first book in her Psy-Changeling series, Slave to Sensation, was named as one of the New York Public Library's 125 books from the last 125 years that inspire a lifelong love of reading. Born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand, Nalini was first published in 2003. Her books are both traditionally and indie published and have sold millions of copies worldwide with translations in multiple languages.
