The Series Bible

Description

By book four you will not remember what color his eyes were, which sister is older, or what you said the rule was about the magic. Your readers will.

This is the book you keep beside the book. Character profiles, world rules, an established facts ledger, a timeline, a names-already-used list so you stop naming three people Marcus, and a who-knows-what grid for the secrets you are holding across the series.

Undated and series-agnostic. Works for a romance trilogy, a nine-book fantasy saga, or the standalone that turned into a series when you were not looking.

What’S Inside

• The series — at a glance, the promise you are making to readers, reading order, and threads and payoffs
• The people — a full character profile page, twelve questions per character, a minor cast table, a names-already-used list, and who-knows-what
• The world — setting, places, rules and limits, and groups and organizations
• Continuity — what to record, an established facts ledger, a timeline, and a physical details ledger
• The books — a per-book profile page and a chapter log
• Voice and style — a style sheet and the words this series uses
• Where everything lives — the paperwork page for files, passwords held elsewhere, editors, and cover sources

About

Made by The Indie Author’s Advocate. I’m an author with three pen names and an assistant to a good many more, and every one of these started as something I built for myself because the version I wanted did not exist.
