Episode description

If you’re thinking about writing a book series, you might want to reconsider, especially if you’re a new author. That’s not to say you should never write a series, but it can be a risky endeavor, and I can prove it with math.
In this week’s episode, I break down why writing a series may limit your potential readership. You’ll learn:

  • The four steps every reader must take for your sequel to sell well
  • The math behind why sequels struggle to sell
  • The hidden dangers of "battered reader syndrome" and how it affects new authors
  • A pre-series strategy for new authors

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should commit to a series or focus on standalones, listen in or read the blog post for a fresh perspective and a smarter strategy.
