  • Standalone or series?

    SHOW NOTES:

    Should your book be a standalone novel or the start of a series? In this episode, Inger Johnson explores one of the most important decisions aspiring authors face. She discusses the creative, marketing, and reader-engagement differences between standalones and series, explains how genre expectations influence success, and shares why a "standalone with series potential" may be the ideal approach for many first-time authors. Whether you're writing historical fiction, fantasy, mystery, or literary fiction, this episode will help you make a more informed decision about your writing journey.

    Talking Points:

    1. The standalone vs. series decision affects far more than storytelling.

    2. Different stories naturally fit different formats.

    3. Reader psychology plays a major role in publishing success.

    4. Series often provide stronger long-term marketing advantages.

    5. Standalones can deliver powerful, emotionally complete experiences.

    6. Understanding your creative style is crucial when choosing a path.

    7. A standalone with series potential offers flexibility and reduces pressure.

    8. There is no "wrong" choice only the choice that best serves your story.
