If writing a single children’s book can be challenging, writing a series is a whole other level.
We’ll explore the two main ways a series can be built:
- Character-driven: How to create and develop a character who can carry a series
- Theme/premise-driven: How to craft a hook or strong premise that keeps readers coming back
Led by Victoria J. Coe, author of successful early chapter book and middle grade series, this webinar offers actionable advice on series creation, craft, and publishing. Victoria will share her top tips and practical insights, followed by a Q&A to answer your series questions directly.
Selling children’s book series requires finesse and know-how. Traditional publishers want series that can sustain readers over multiple books, typically based on a strong character or a compelling premise. And if you want to create and sell a series that stands out, captivates readers, and has staying power, this webinar will show you how.
