Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hi, Gandwarf! I'm not actually a map-maker myself, but I am a fan of them. I would like to commission a map, and I'd like your advice. Recently I was admitted to the Clarion Science Fiction writing workshop (http://clarion.ucsd.edu/) and I'm hoping to find someone who can help design a map of an imaginary city for me. If you can do it, or suggest someone who can, that would be great! Of course I'm willing to pay a fair price! Please let me know if you can help. kaiashantewilson @ yahoo . com
