WorldEmber

What is WorldEmber?

During WorldEmber, we challenge you to write 10k words of worldbuilding (or more) in one month! If you need that final push to get your next novel or campaign setting done, or if you just enjoy some friendly competition, WorldEmber is for you!

WorldEmber takes places in December and lasts for the entire month—all words you write in a public article will be counted! Additionally, you can also submit to optional special categories for each article template for a chance to win a prize.

Where does it take place?

WorldEmber takes place online—which means you can join in from wherever you are in the world! You'll need a World Anvil account—just a free account is fine—in order to count your words.

Make sure you don't miss our WiorldEmber live streams, the heart of the challenge, on our Twitch Channel! Tune in for raffles, inspiration and advice on worldbuilding, and to see the updated leaderboards live first!

And you can find more inspiration on our social media (Discord, Bluesky, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram) where you can also get the latest news, and announcements about what's happening. Use #WorldEmber to share your work and talk about the event!
