After many months of lurking around their social media, I finally took the plunge and became a member of the British Cartographic Society.
The BCS are an organisation for anyone with an interest in maps, whether professional or as a hobby. Among other things, my membership gives me access to regular webinars and events, and copies of their Maplines magazine.
I’m hoping that, by joining, I can learn ways in which I can make the geographical aspects of my fantasy maps more realistic and natural, as well as learning about different kinds of political and social maps, meaning that I can record more of my fictional worlds than the physical landscape.
I’ll be sharing all sorts of things that I learn along the way to both my Patreon and Substack subscribers, as well as sharing map-drawing tips on my TikTok. So make sure you’re following along!
