The fantasy we all know and love falls under a vast umbrella of subgenres and niche markets. Enter urban fantasy: magic and wonder that happens right out your front door. This subgenre layers classic fantasy tropes like magic and mythical creatures onto real-world settings you’re probably already familiar with.
We had the privilege to interview Jon R. Osborne, science fiction and fantasy author and creator of the urban fantasy series the Milesian Accords. Jon has such a great mind for worldbuilding, he literally wrote the book on it.
In Part Two, We Discuss:
- Tips and tools for developing real-world settings
- Integrating magic, science, information technology, and popular culture
- How to navigate pitfalls when writing modern religion and belief systems
- Layering different cultures, mythos, and folklore into a cohesive universe
- Tips for tracking worldbuilding details across genres and topics
- #bringOzbeer

Enormous Thanks to Jon R. Osborne! The Milesian Accords are near and dear to Shady and H.Y.’s hearts since “Oz” opened up his universe to new authors. We’ve been so fortunate to have him as a mentor, editor, and friend in our writing careers. We’re seriously excited to share his series and non-fiction with you to aid your author journeys.
