Writing a popular book series provides many marketing advantages, namely that your advertising is far more profitable.But writing a series is also risky. Generally, you can only sell subsequent books to folks who purchased, read, and enjoyed the first book in the series.For some authors, writing books in a series has shackled their otherwise good books to a relatively unappealing freshman effort.So, how do you know if your book is a good fit for a series?In this week's episode, you'll hear from Kristina Stanley, best-selling, award-winning author and the founder of Fictionary.co. We discussTwo types of seriesHow to know if your idea can sustain a seriesStrategies for release and promotion of books in a seriesListen in or check out the blog version of this episode to learn about the many marketing advantages a completed series provides and how you can write a successful series.Support the show
