Description

Brian McClellan joined us to field questions about writing novels and series. Here are the questions:

How do you write an ending that is open for sequels, but isn't a cliffhanger?
Is it a good idea to take a large novel, and release it instead as serial novellas?
Can you debut with a series, or should you establish yourself with standalone novels first?
How do you keep readers coming back for each new novel when there's a long time between them?
Should you have more than just one book done before querying agents?
What do you do if your novel turns out to be too short to be a novel?
Is it possible to write a series as a discovery writer?
How do you foreshadow big things that are a long way out?
