Series

Writing more than one book in the same world? Keep them together as a series, sharing one Story Bible.

The series bar at the top of the sidebar: the series, Bennet Family Novels, and the open book, Book 1, Pride and Prejudice, with a menu for switching books.
The series bar, for switching books.

File → New Series from This Book… turns a book into the first of a series. Its folder moves into the series’ folder, and its Story Bible becomes the series’. Then add a new book, which takes your details and the first book’s build configurations, or bring in a book you’ve already written.

A bar at the top of the sidebar names the series and the book you’re in (“Book 2, The Storm Season”). Click it to switch books; the one you’re leaving is saved first.

What a series shares

  • One Story Bible, where each entry shows which books mention it.
  • One history, so a snapshot or a restore covers every book and the bible together.
  • A word count for the whole series on the Statistics page.
  • With Septangular Publish, box sets: several books of the series built as one ebook or one printed book.

Each book keeps its own outline, notes and build configurations.
