The world of children\u2019s literature is a wonderful place for young readers to explore. Equally wonderful are the worlds inside<\/em> the books. But how, as writers of fiction for 8-12 year olds, can we create a world so rich, believable and memorable that it will live on in children\u2019s minds long after they have finished the story? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 1: Space and place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first aspect you might consider is the physical landscape. Woods and wild places with an unsettling hint of magic are enduringly popular, for good reason: forests have a long history as contentious spaces where it\u2019s hard to see what\u2019s coming \u2013 or what\u2019s behind you! Brilliant ground for stories, especially those that feature an outsider on a quest.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might decide to set your story in a real, familiar place \u2013 a city or town you know well or a favourite holiday spot. There\u2019s much to be said for this approach (so long as it fits the story) as it cuts down on research. While often fun, research can lead you down so many fascinating paths that you forget to finish the manuscript and it can even entrench the tendency to procrastinate that haunts many writers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 2: Can you see it, feel it, smell it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When writing landscape, whether real or imagined, it\u2019s important to use all the senses. What does the grass sound like when it moves in the wind? What kind of bricks are used for the buildings and what do they feel like? What does the city smell like in summer as opposed to winter? It can be helpful to create a colour palette for your work, to help you see your setting clearly through your characters\u2019 eyes. This is closely tied to the season(s) you choose to work with, and the weather you might invoke to amplify a dramatic moment or signal a period of calm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re creating a unique, original or magical world, all bets are off \u2013 snow may be blue, soil might burn human skin \u2013 the important thing is to construct it with logic and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 3: Make it with a map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many children\u2019s writers love literary maps but worry about their own artistic skills. Sketching out the environment for your story, however roughly, can be a great help when it comes to aspects like scale, distance, proportion and position. The \u2018quality\u2019 of the drawing doesn\u2019t matter as it\u2019s for your eyes only.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A map can help you with your storytelling in so many different ways: how many days will it take your heroine to reach that castle? How wide is the river she must cross? Do all the place names work when viewed as set?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can apply this to the built environment too. Home is the bedrock of life for young children so bringing to life a fictional<\/em> home with lots of warmth and detail will engage them. You might draw the rooms, indicate where the staircase is, sketch how many windows there are. And of course add unique, memorable and funny details to amuse them (and you). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 4: Create cultural treasures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The physical world is a great place to start, but a richly imagined story setting has many other dimensions. These are sometimes called \u2018cultural treasures\u2019 and are all the things that make up a real society and community \u2013 whether contemporary, historical or one you\u2019ve invented. This includes everything from belief systems to recipes; festivals to fashions; lullabies, legends and songs; jokes with a punchline that everyone knows; and sports and pastimes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the serious stuff: medicines, laws, rules, punishments and the whole business of who\u2019s in charge (and who wants to be!). The best plan is to create a tapestry of cultural treasures but weave them into your text stitch by stitch rather than explaining things directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 5: What’s on the table? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Food is so important in childhood that it deserves a special mention when considering worldbuilding. It\u2019s good to think about the rituals and customs around food that\u2019s eaten every day; on special occasions such as a feast; at communal celebrations or major events; and in times of hardship.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could change as your characters move through their world, especially on first encounters or moments of danger: golden plates that shine like the sun in the palace you\u2019ve longed to see, rock-hard ship\u2019s biscuits on a scary maiden voyage, sour berries in that corner of the forest where you\u2019re trying so hard not to be found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 6: Build a happy reader!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A richly-developed story world encourages a sense of glorious immersion. For newly confident readers \u2013 children who\u2019ve recently graduated from the enchanting world of highly-illustrated picture books and early readers \u2013 this offers lasting benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Middle Grade author, you\u2019re conjuring a fictional world largely with words. When this is done really well something magical occurs, almost like alchemy: it feels real! This encourages children to read on, even if or when the work of \u2018decoding\u2019 the text feels challenging. It\u2019s a vital part of encouraging and supporting children to read for pleasure. This in turn opens up opportunities to imagine, as a pre-teen, what it\u2019s like to be someone else, perhaps someone from a different culture, era, realm or country. And this helps develop empathy \u2013 a key ingredient in the recipe for happiness not only for book-loving individuals, but society too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s hear it for Middle Grade authors \u2013 published and aspiring \u2013 who are helping to build confident readers, one story world at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
