A thousand townsfolk, ready to move in.

Every cozy fantasy needs a town worth living in: the baker who knows everyone's secrets, the gruff innkeeper with the soft heart, the busybody who means well, the stranger who turns up with the first snow. But conjuring a whole village from a blank page is cold, slow work.

1000 Characters for Your Cozy Fantasy Novel hands you the town already populated. Across fourteen themed chapters you'll meet a thousand townsfolk ? hearth-keepers and peacemakers, eccentrics and elders, festival folk and the quietly wounded ? and every one comes ready to use.

Inside you'll find:

·1,000 cozy fantasy characters, organised into 14 browsable chapters

·A clear want and a story seed for every entry, so each one arrives plot-ready

·"Sparks-with" prompts and a mix-and-match system for wiring your cast together

·Seasonal and festival folk to turn your story's year, from spring fair to midwinter

·A craft guide to choosing, connecting, and growing a community that feels real

Whether you're drafting your first cozy tale or filling out a beloved series, this is a character-creation and worldbuilding companion you'll reach for with every book.

Open it, and bring someone to life.
