The series is a popular format across its many forms, and many book series have reached incredible success. The benefit of being able to tell a story that's much too broad to be contained to one book allows for a different type of storytelling, and a different style of reading experience.
But how do you approach the task of writing such a complex project? A series can require a different level of planning than a standalone, as well as its own set of writing techniques in order to sustain such a long story. If you're looking to write a series, here's a breakdown of how to decide if a series is best for your story (and how many books it'll need), the three types of series (serialized, procedural, and interlinked standalones), how to plan a series, and structuring and plotting tips!
