Ready to be a real dragon-rider? Perfect for fantasy readers and writers alike, this guide breaks down the basics of dragon anatomy so you know how to write (and if you’re reading, envision) them accurately. For those looking for tips on how to write dragons in fantasy, I’m chatting about “dragon” dragons, wyverns, drakes, and wyrms, and what sets each of them apart.

About Liza:

Author. Firebird. Nerd.

Owner of Phoenix Universe Publications

Lizabeth Phoenix is the woman in the corner of the room, neck-deep in coffee, face buried in her beloved MacBook.

To her, writing should be a balance between squeal-worthy character moments and action scenes that make you wish you knew hand-to-hand combat so you could end the villains yourself.

When not writing, she spends hours pinning Game of Thrones fan art and journeying through the latest George R. R. Martin novels. One might say she's a little obsessed...
