What does it take to create an entirely new world, complete with its own language, writing system, and philosophy? For author Peter Gribble, the answer is fifteen years, endless curiosity, and a few unexpected plot twists.
In this episode of Plot Twist Radio, Erin sits down with award-winning fantasy author Peter Gribble, creator of The City of Magicians trilogy, to explore the extraordinary imagination behind his books.
Inspired by childhood experiences in postwar Europe and a lifelong fascination with nonviolence, spirituality, and human nature, Peter created a fantasy world where a peaceful society faces the threat of invasion. But the real magic goes far beyond the story itself.
From inventing an original language and writing system to drawing inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien, ancient civilizations, and astronomy, Peter shares the intricate creative process that brought his fictional universe to life. He also discusses the surprising moment his enormous manuscript became a trilogy, why fictional characters sometimes take control of their own stories, and the importance of a great editor.
Whether you’re a fantasy enthusiast, an aspiring author, or simply someone fascinated by the power of imagination, this conversation offers a glimpse into the art of creating worlds from scratch.
