Series and reading order
For authorsUpdated 1 min read
A series is a reading order of your books with its own public page readers can follow. Create it from Studio, Series, then Manage to add books from your catalog and arrange them; followers are told when the next book is published.
The short answer
What a series is
A series groups related books into a reading order readers can follow from the first page to the last. It has its own public page readers can follow, it appears on each book's page, and an author can gather an Official Author Circle around a series as well as a book.
Creating and arranging
- Studio › Series, give it a title and a description ("what holds these books together?").
- Open Manage: choose a book from the catalog to add it, then arrange Books in order, first book to last. The order is the sequence readers are shown.
A book belongs to one series. Taking a book out of the order keeps it in your catalog; deleting the series removes only the series and its order, never the books (that cannot be undone).
Followers
When the next book in a followed series is published, its followers are told once, alongside the followers of your pen name (Following and notifications).
Where this lives
Related
- Publishing your first book: Create a book from Studio, Books, New book, with its synopsis, up to three genres and six tropes, content level and warnings, language, page count and a cover (uploaded, or a pattern with the title drawn on). It starts as a draft only you can see; set it to Coming soon (with a date) or Published when ready. Add a sample and buy links from the edit page; archiving takes it off the catalog without deleting anything.
- Following, and what you are told: Follow authors (their pen name), readers and series; their news reaches your feed and the bell, grouped and switchable per author. Notifications live under the bell, everything can be marked read at once, and e-mail is a digest, never one message per event.
- Official Author Circles: An author starts an author circle around one of their books or series from the Circles page or the Studio; it shows the Official Author Circle mark once the author profile is verified. It works like any Circle with the author as owner, plus drop-ins and, where a video provider is connected, live sessions. "Author participating" marks a Circle the author is in but does not run.
