Series and related books

Group manuscripts into a series, set the reading order and link prequels and sequels.

When a world has more than one book, group them into a series to keep them in reading order, and record how standalone books relate to each other.

The Manuscripts tab, with a trilogy and standalone works

Start a series

When you create a manuscript, choose Series → New series and give it a Series title (for example The Something Cycle). You can also add an existing manuscript to a series later.

The Manuscripts tab shows each series as a shelf with its books in reading order, followed by your standalone works.

Add books and set the reading order

  • Choose Add a book on a series to start the next one, or add an existing manuscript to it.
  • Choose Reorder on a series and use the arrows to change the reading order.
  • Choose the series' Edit button to rename it or change its details.

Prequels, sequels and spinoffs

A book outside a series can still be related to another. When creating it, choose what it is:

  • Prequel
  • Sequel
  • Spinoff
  • Companion

…and which book it relates to, so you always know where it fits in the world's timeline.
