Right now I'm working on the sequel. <br /><br />One huge thing I'd recommend is making a bible for your series where you list all your characteers, places, settings, goals, and other things. One good example of one is from Diana Gabaldon on her Outlander series. Also Robert Jordan did one for the WOT series. <br /><br />Some fun series suggestions are DEAD IS THE NEW BLACK by Marlene Perez; DEAD GIRL DANCING by Linda Singleton and Jennifer Barnes has some fun series that include GOLDEN and THE SQUAD.Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-49634396309020693442011-04-14T18:09:23.907-04:002011-04-14T18:09:23.907-04:00I have only published one book, and it is the firs...I have only published one book, and it is the first installment of a seven-part series. It started off as a standalone novel but grew to something more. In my series, each novel is told from a different character's perspective. I am finishing up my second novel, and I love continuing the story. If others see the potential for a series, then consider it. Series are exceedingly popular with teeens. Hope that helps...Kimberly Blackadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625210848593296606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-81637874277874566522011-04-13T23:26:41.748-04:002011-04-13T23:26:41.748-04:00I've never written a series, so I really know ...I've never written a series, so I really know little about them.

The first of the series, The Jewels Of Earda, the editor asked this question when she reached the end. "Is this a single story or a series. If a single story, you need to tie up these loose ends. She listed a half dozen. Yikes, I thought. I really had a trilogy if I was to tie up those loose ends. The second time was decided on my own. I'm a planner, sort of. What I do is a tell synopsis. When I reached fifty pages, I knew I couldn't do this all in one book. Are they easier or harder to sell? I've never thought of that when writing. Hopes this helps a bit.Janet Lane Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488093917556546485noreply@blogger.com
