Hello everyone.
I'm working on a document in which all of the extensive details of my fantasy world are kept. I was going to reveal a large amount of information on my blog, but after careful consideration I decided not to do so.
The document I was going to share was a teaser that described the protagonist’s cultural background. I didn't post this information because I realised that doing so would give away important aspects of the story that I would want readers to find out by actually reading the book itself.
My questions to you are, well, what can I do in order to give a few friends of mine a teaser without giving them information? How do other writers, primarily as a teaser, reveal parts of the lore they create without info-dumping? Is there any other way I can accomplish this? Do famous authors even do this?
