Keep the series consistent

The job: a new book that readers of the last one recognise at once.

Without it

  • Rereading old books to recall eye colours and timelines
  • A series bible that is always out of date
  • Side characters that change between books

With Book Series

  • Earlier books read and merged into one series context
  • Outline, characters and chapters built from it
  • Continuity from the first chapter of the new book

The next book, already in context
