Publishing a series is where it’s at for indie writers, but a great deal of their power lies in their continuity.
Joanna Penn has a video post discussing some aspects to consider when producing a series.
Her tips cover these topics:
-
Continuation of character history, physical and personality traits.
-
How much to repeat in case people don't start with the first book.
-
What you remember versus what you actually wrote.
-
A story in itself but also part of a series.
-
Whether the protagonist changes within the book or over a series of books.
-
How to cope with timescale over multiple books.
-
Retrofitting cover design and branding.
