Want to supercharge your writing career? Use the power of a series to create superfans, increase sales, and develop your personal author brand.

What if you don’t like trilogies? No problem, that’s just one type of series. What if you’ve already written a standalone? Excellent, now let’s turn that into the start of a series!

This three-week course will teach you why you should move beyond the standalone novel—and how to do it in a variety of ways, one of which will be perfect for you. They are all equally effective in expanding your novel as well as your career.

Whether you’re planning your first series, wondering how to expand from your standalone, or just curious about what series writing can do for your career, this course—like a good series—will take you on a journey of discovery. And if you use what you will learn in this course, you will double, triple or even quadruple your writing income.

Find the seeds that already exist in your story world. Explore the three types of series and learn the strengths and limitations of each one so you can decide which one is right for you. Start planning your own series, guided by an experienced mentor. And prepare for readers who are eager to follow you through a series of books instead of just one.
