About the Class:
Series are HOT, HOT, HOT! Readers want to fall in love with our stories, our worlds, and our characters.
What do they want even MORE?
For the experience to NEVER END...EVER. When readers fall hard for a cast of characters or a world or a storyline, they want to remain in that dreamscape as long as humanly possible.
So let's give them what they want!
Series are a fantastic way to build a loyal and evangelical fanbase. Also, statistically, authors who have more titles for sale have far greater odds of making more money.
Connect these book titles together into a series? Who can resist just one...more...ride?
Another advantage to series? The small screen television business is BOOMING. From HBO to Netflix, to Amazon to the Hallmark Channel and more, producers are on the hunt for series that WOW.
Why? Because when they option a series it makes their business way simpler. They already have stories that a) are a proven commodity b) are simpler to translate to the screen and that c) come with the bonus of a ready-made fanbase.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller (a.k.a.The Lincoln Lawyer) books, Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike private detective series, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (a.k.a. Game of Thrones), and the list goes on.
Every genre has a breakaway series ignites a fanbase and that very often can also set fire to the small screen audiences as well.
