Overview
How do you write a book series readers binge? Build the foundation before you write Book 1.
Do you dream of writing a series? Readers want novels that are the same but different, and when they find a series they love, they want more. Getting readers to fall in love with your series comes down to one thing: a well-structured series.
Secrets to Writing a Series is a step-by-step guide to planning and writing a fiction series in any genre. It's Book 3 in the Write Novels That Sell series by K. Stanley, founder and CEO of Fictionary, and L. Cooke, Fictionary Certified StoryCoach Editor.

You'll learn:
- The difference between a closed series and an open series, and how to choose
- How to find the uniting factor that holds your series together
- How to outline a series story arc, or story arc patterns that repeat across novels
- How to set up and resolve each novel so readers reach for the next one
- How to handle backstory, subplots, POV characters, and titles across a series
- How to test your structure with the Series Structure Test
You'll create:
- Skeleton blurbs for your series and at least three novels in it
- Story arc patterns that unite your novels
- Your protagonist and POV strategy
- A series vault you'll use to write every novel in your series
