● At age 13, Terry made his writing debut
with his story “Business Rivals.”
● When Terry was knighted by the queen,
he quipped that his greatest service to
literature was “to avoid writing any!”
● Terry created his own coat of arms,
featuring an ankh, an owl with books,
and the motto “noli timere messorem” -
DON’T FEAR THE REAPER!
● Terry loved astronomy as a child, and
even built an observatory in his backyard
as an adult!
● What’s a knight without his sword? Terry
forged his own, including ore from his own
backyard, and “highly magical thunderbolt
iron” from a meteorite.
● One of Terry’s favorite compliments was
being dubbed “the most shoplifted author
in Great Britain.”
● Like many of his fans, Terry loved
Dungeons & Dragons and videogames.

1. Find the “commonality” of men and women.
2. Use humor if you know how but don’t force
it!
3. Don’t bother planning it out
4. Read the masters in all the genres - not
just Sci-Fi and Fantasy
5. Put your characters in uncomfortable
situations and let them gure out how to
get out of it! Terry Pratchett. Image labeled for noncommercial reuse by

The Wee Free Men
This is the first in a 5 book series in
Discworld. The heroine is Tiffany
Aching, a nine year old shepherdess
turning witch. Her character is brave
but a bit petulant. She is following in
the footsteps of her grandmother.

The Nac Mac Feegle are a tribe of

short, blue men with incredible
powers. They are funny, fearless and
the heart of the story. They also aided
Tiffany’s grandmother and without
them Tiffany would have failed in her
mission.

“Zoology, eh? That’s a big word, isn’t it?” “No, actually, it isn’t,” said Tiffany. “Patronising is a big word.
Zoology is really quite short.”
A Hat 󰉇󰉉󰈗󰈘 󰈢f S󰈔󰉙
Another title from the Discworld series, this is the second book that
follows the protagonist Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegle.
In this adventure, Tiffany leaves home to apprentice with an older
witch named Miss Level (who has 2 bodies). Tiffany expects training
in spells and potions to take up all her time, but instead she winds up
doing chores, cooking, and even trimming an old man’s toe nails!
But, when Tiffany is attacked by a hiver (a monster who takes over
her mind), she must discover her own identity as a witch and save
herself.

● After being hung, Moist Von Lipwig, a con artist, has the option
to either work at the city’s post office or die again.
● What’s so bad about the post office? The previous postmasters
have died in curious ways, the employees say they hear voices
from the decades of undelivered letters, and with speedy clack
towers, mail is obsolete.
● In his journey to restore the post office, Mr Lipwig challenges
the greedy clack towers’ chairman to a race to see who can
deliver a message the fastest.
● This witty fantasy is a story of unconventional hope and
redemption.

On Discworld, there are two types of magic: the magic of witches and the magic of
wizards. Witches are always girls and wizards are always boys and no one had better
try to say different!
That is until Eskerina Smith comes along. At the death of Wizard Drum Billet, the
8th son of an 8th son would take up his magical mantle and the Smith family of Bad
Ass was about to welcome their seventh son to the family. Unfortunately for
everyone, Esk wasn’t born a boy and wasn’t going to apologize for it or for having
access to wizardly magic!
This hilarious book explore Esk’s journey to understanding magic and the magical
universe around her. As her talents break social barriers, her antics and those of
Granny Weatherax, her guardian witch, poke holes in the social fabric of time and
space! A great read!
