My name's Ashley and I found the Cartographers' Guild as I was doing research about fantasy map artists. I'm a fantasy author; my first two books are available on Amazon and I'm currently in the process of publishing the third, which presents some bizarre mapping challenges, hence my hunt for map ideas. I have zero visual artistic talent, despite having a lifelong obsession with maps and fantasy worlds, so part of my interest/hope for joining this thread is to find likeminded artists interested in helping to bring the worlds of past, present, and future books to life. Writing is pretty solitary, and though I'm a bit of an introvert, I'm also a believer in the power of collaboration. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and geeking out on maps.
