A Worldbuilder's Guide Inspired by Korean Fantasy

I’m an author of four Korean fantasy novels and translator of various fantasy series, including Harry Potter and Wings of Fire, into Korean. I’ve spent years creating worlds brimming with magic and monsters (all well-behaved, I promise).

My latest project, The K-Lore Library: A Worldbuilder’s Guide Inspired by Korean Fantasy, gives writers the tools to craft rich, immersive worlds.
