How to Create a Literature Map

Literature maps are a niche hobby but can be very rewarding to produce. There are two main methods. The less popular one is where you shred up maps and make literature out of them. However this often leads to quite abstract prose, so I will deal with the second method.

Steps

    1
    First you will need big wall. Ideally it is plastered but it can sometimes be nice if it is bare brick or has wires sticking out of it because it adds texture. If it is not to your liking either find another one or spend some time refacing the one of your choice

    Next decide what kind of map you want to make. If your aim is reproducing an ordinance survey map or something of the sort you need to get a copy of the original for reference. If you want to make a new map you should either observe the area you want to map or sketch one out if it is imaginary.
    3
    Find lots of literature and shred it up. Sort it into bits. If there are particular words you want to use in particular places, like if they match location names then put them aside.
