If we’re going to be honest with ourselves, one of the main keys to becoming a fiction writer who can live on a stable income is by writing a series. As much as many of us want to have that one awesome hit that will knock the midi-chlorians out of your readers, it’s far more feasible to grow a readership by writing multiple books, rather than just one (ESPECIALLY if you write science fiction & fantasy, but we’ll get into that). Writing a series is absolutely essential to survival as a science fiction & fantasy author. If you’re not convinced yet, tune in to hear my five reasons as to why you should write a novel series!
