Could more people connect with your work?
Are you looking for more interest from your tribe?
A map will let you share your world instantly with people. Your true fans can take one look at your map and know that they belong in your tribe.
As an author, I know how tough it is to engage people in the world you invented. But a map is the single best way to get the attention you deserve. Your world map embodies your creativity in a delightful visual that lets you connect instantly with the right fans.
Client Praise for Maps by D.N.Frost:
In terms of aesthetics, D.N. was always on-point and detail-oriented.
This allowed us to maintain complete creative control of our world, but also drastically improved the “real-ness” of the geography. Our map was greatly improved by her input.
I’ve been wanting to do this for my manuscript for some time.
The map aptly represents my vision of Ancient Britain. I love the way you highlighted the major landmarks. Your final rendition looks like what an ancient map-maker would have created.
Your world is a masterpiece, and your map must reflect it perfectly. I believe your world deserves an accurate and inspiring map for you to share with others and reference yourself.
I think every story deserves a map, and your story is no exception. I want you to have access to this powerful creative tool, whether you want to enjoy your map with friends on game night or publish a new map in every novel.
As a fellow world-builder, I know that the details you invent are often crucial to your story. I believe that your map must be just as you've imagined it. As your cartographer, I know anything less than delight and satisfaction aren't good enough. That's why I believe your map isn't done until it makes your heart sing.
I use mapping as a creative tool throughout my writing process, and I have earned a ton of experience with fictional cartography. Let me bring your world to life with a shareable, accurate, and inspirational map that you'll love for many new tales to come.
Could you make more progress on your work?
Are you looking to feel more passion about your world?
A map will motivate and encourage you with genuine feedback from others, evoking real conversations about your creative passion.
As an author, I know how much dedication it takes to write, edit, and publish a novel. All that time and effort is rather difficult to share, but a map evokes input from others who see it. Even the simplest feedback can be a major motivation to keep writing.
Client Praise for Maps by D.N.Frost:
Once we started the geography, it started to develop a life of its own.
It's much easier to picture and write the journeys with a map I can use. Picturing the mountains, the lakes, and their placements made it come alive.
D.N.Frost helped me bring Crystallon to life.
The map is beautifully created and an important tool. I know where scenes take place and how to reach the next town. The map helps with the creation of different stories.
You can commission a map as long as you have a unique realm of your own. Your world can be fictional, futuristic, or historical. You must be the inventor of the world, or have creative rights to it.
I work with world-builders of all kinds: authors, writers, RPG gamers, and dungeon masters. You have full rights to your map, so you can both publish it and post it online.
To get a sense of my mapping styles, browse my World Map Portfolio, and for the maps I made for my own fantasy saga, see these Maps of the Known World.
See work in progress images and project memoirs in the free download Fictional Cartography by D.N.Frost. For more on my mapping process, download my Map Commission FAQ. Style adjustments are often easy to accommodate, so email your questions to maps@DNFrost.com!
Could your work use more creative passion?
Are you looking to discover more stories within your world?
A map will stoke your creativity and imagination, immersing you in your world and sparking new stories of the people who live there.
As a world-builder, I know how momentous a world map can be. You must think deep about your world to make it visual, and a map drives you to be inventive and thorough. Soon, you'll be inventing new areas, peoples, and stories that you'd never brought into focus before.
Client Praise for Maps by D.N.Frost:
I had no idea just how much this would help my envisioning.
I'm staring at A'tal right now, while adding one more chapter to my book. The questions that arose while we mapped helped to clarify parts of my story.
The map has a wonderful strangeness.
D.N.Frost used color and shadings to convey mood and geography, the eastern Earth life encroaching on the local alien life. I think the whole effect is awesome.
A world map is the perfect way to share your creativity quickly and easily with others. They'll see your map and can respond to it without reading your whole story first. A map is the most shareable element of your storytelling adventure. Whether you write for fun or for publication, the small lonely world of world-building opens up when you have a map to show off.
It's easier to stay motivated when you get frequent encouragement from others. We all know the best encouragement is seeing someone genuinely interested in your story. A map is the gateway into conversations about your work, and there's nothing more invigorating and motivating than talking about your work.
A world map also helps you with your storytelling. As you delve into details during the mapping process, you connect more deeply with your world. You'll notice things on the map that you haven't invented yet, and you'll find nooks and crannies to build into fresh stories. A map adds realism to your story by making the world more navigable to readers and enhancing your craft as a storyteller.

Dear D.N.,
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to work with you in creating my maps of Ancient Britain that display the location of major Celtic tribal territories and landmarks that have been referenced in my blog APOLLO'S RAVEN and my first novel with the same name in an epic historical fantasy series about a mystical warrior princess and the great-grandson of Mark Antony. As I was writing my manuscript, I realized how important it was for readers to understand the distances between tribal capitals and landmarks. I loved the way that you highlighted the major landmarks of the White Cliffs (Dover Cliffs) and Apollo's Temple (Stonehenge) on the map. Your final rendition looked like what an ancient map-maker would have created. By your working closely with me, we were able to finalize the map that aptly represents my vision of Ancient Celtic Britain. You provided different styles of these maps that I can incorporate into my blog and final published work. And I appreciated the way you carefully laid out the rights for using these maps.
As my series expands into Gaul (modern day France) and Italy, I will definitely work with you again in creating these ancient worlds. Thank you so much for working with me on this project. It was a joy to work with you.
Best regards,
Linnea
