Overview

Books are the major containers inside a project. A book may be a standalone novel, a novella, a later series instalment or a planned volume that shares continuity with the rest of the project.

When Should I Use This?

Use this page when creating a new volume or updating the order, title or planning description for an existing book.

How To Use It

Set the book number so the reading order is clear. Use the title and description to capture the book's working promise: its central question, major conflict, emotional movement or role in the series.

Example

Book 2 might carry the description: "Beth follows the memory tin trail while Maggie's version of Annie's death begins to collapse."

Writer Tip

Keep book descriptions practical. They should help you remember what this instalment does, not pretend to be polished back-cover copy.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating book order as fixed too early.
  • Creating separate projects for books that share heavy continuity.
  • Leaving the description unchanged after the book's purpose changes.
