Beyond Book One: How to Plan and Publish a Successful Fictional Series - Paperback

by Lewis Jorstad (Author)

Successful series aren't one-size-fits-all.
When it comes to building a rewarding writing career, many authors look to fictional series. Well-written series turn readers into lasting fans. They give you space to explore deep stories and vibrant characters. And they're the reliable foundation of many authors' livelihoods.

However, a set of novels on its own isn't a series.

A fantasy trilogy won't follow the same rules as an eight-book mystery, and neither will look quite like a romance series. Yet, each of these follow a clear structure-one you'll need to master if you want your series to sell.

In Beyond Book One, join book coach and developmental editor Lewis Jorstad as you:

• Explore the four fundamental patterns that underpin all successful fictional series,
• Craft powerful series plots and characters that will keep your readers coming back book after book,
