Here Be Dragons: Making Exposition in Your Fantasy Invisible at DFWCon 2026

How do you pitch fantasy without explaining the whole world? How much does a reader truly need to understand in the opening chapters? What are your favorite ways to reveal worldbuilding through action rather than explanation? What are the clearest signs that exposition has become an info dump? When can dialogue carry exposition successfully, and when does it sound like characters explaining things they already know?

Learn the answers to these questions and more during this panel from USA Today bestselling author Kate Khavari, literary agents Chelsea Moyer and Kelsey Evans, and debut author Sally Hamilton.
