The Course I Couldn't Have Written Twenty Years Ago
Course Launch Announcement
I need to explain some history.
About twenty years of it, so I’m going to do it microwave style.
In 2005 I started building a world online called Wanted Hero.
I couldn’t get my dream job with Marvel, DC, or Image comics, so I decided to build my own idea online. For the record, it was my 86 year old father’s idea. He said,
“There’s this thing called ‘the internet’. Some folks say it’s just a fad, but I don’t think it is. You could tell your stories to the world, son. Consider it.”
You already know the choice I made.
Many told me I couldn’t do it. Even more mocked me.
I proved them all wrong.
Twenty years, one world, through comics and novels and games, growing a family of fifteen...and a ‘few’ disasters.
I’ve written about those elsewhere.
Somewhere in those years, I stopped guessing.
I’d love to tell myself it’s because I got smart.
Uhhh, no.
The absolute truth is, I never wanted to teach writing. To ANY degree.
Don’t look at me like that, I’m serious.
In fact, I STILL don’t want to teach…I want to write and create.
My children, and readers, and even other writers wanted to know how I was doing what I was doing…
WHY didn’t I ever suffer from ‘writers’s block’?
HOW was I cranking out so many stories and ideas (long before an AI showed up)?
WHAT was I doing to seamlessly interconnect these addictive ideas?
So I reversed engineered what I was doing by habit, so others could do the same.
That’s it. That was my whole plan.
Just share, NOT TEACH.
When I sent my formed idea to my friend, David Farland, he said, “You have to write this, Jaime. Your generation of writers needs this.”
So I wrote a book about it, published it, and went back to writing.
Sigh.
Writers wanted more.
It’s taken me a year to get here, but you’re worth it:
Advanced Worldbuilding.
56 lessons, with a companion worksheet for every one...everything I know about building a world. Fictional worlds that feel alive and a stories that readers love, become addicted to, and want to return to over and over again.
This is the exact material/methods/principles I use every day in my writing.
Something you should understand: You will not find this material elsewhere. This is the only course built from decades of doing it for a living... turned into a system that engineers a world strong enough to survive its readers.
On July 30th it launches to 300K+ Kindlepreneur.com writers: $700 through August 5th, then $1,000 after.
Same deal for you, same window.

If you’re just starting out and want a ‘super serum’ for creativity, this is it.
If your world is a beautiful pile of fragments with no spine...this is the fix, and I built it from the scar tissue.
If you’re a writer of fiction, including game designers (yes, I’m talking to you, TTRPGers), this course will change the way you view writing and story creation for the rest of your career.
That’s the whole pitch.
No countdown timers, no fake bonuses.
Back to the craft on schedule this week.
The launch doesn’t change what this place is.

Advanced Worldbuilding: The Course
You can feel it when a world is hollow. So can your readers.
You have poured years into your world. The maps, the names, the history nobody asked for yet. And still there is that quiet fear that it is a beautiful set with no foundation...that a sharp reader could push on it and the whole thing would wobble.
Detail is not the problem.
Structure is.
That is exactly what this course fixes.
Inside, Jaime Buckley hands you the same system he used to build a world people have followed for over thirty years. Using the Up-Chuck Method™ and the discipline of Trigger Questions, you will learn to:
Design catalytic Events that force your story to move
Define a living Core so every choice in your world traces back to something that matters
Find and cut the structural weakness before a reader ever feels it
Build a world that holds up under scrutiny...and lingers long after the last page
This is not just a creativity workshop. It is architectural training for serious builders. If you believe your story deserves more than surface detail, this is where you stop decorating and start engineering.
Your readers will never see the framework. They will only feel that your world is real.
Build the world that outlives you.





I'm pretty sure that's how Dave got started with teaching, too. It evolved into in-person workshops, mostly in St. George, UT, then elsewhere. During covid he taught the Epic Writing Course via Zoom, which was essential for my current series-in-progress. Substack wasn't around then, but he emailed out the "Daily Kick in the Pants" writing tips.
Can you offer any sort of payment plan? I'd love to do this, but things are a bit tight right now.
