Write Byte Writing a Series Our own Laurie Likes Books received an e-mail recently from Elaine Coffman, who wanted to submit a title for one of the Special Title Listings she maintains at The Archives of Laurie Likes Books. Since so many of us are fans of related stories, we decided to ask Elaine to reflect on the topic. She is the author of an extremely successful series of related books and in fact wrote the final books in the Mackinnon series because her fans were relentless in their requests. Here is what Elaine had to say: The difference between writing a series of books as opposed to one book, is like having one child compared to several. You reap a greater joy.

You get to be involved with your children longer, which is also true when writing about a family. I read once that there was a difference between a book of two hudred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages that was originally eight hundred pages. The six hundred pages are there, only you don’t see them. This is what happens when you are writing a series of books. The other characters are there, but you don’t see them.

I wrote my series of seven books so they did not have to be read in any order. I have been a frustrated reader of series myself, and found it so irritating when I discovered there were earlier books I should have read before the one I started with.

I also know first hand that it can be difficult sometimes to find all of the books in a series. This isn’t the author’s fault. Sometimes it isn’t the publishers fault either. If the books are in print and they aren’t in the bookstores, that is because the bookstore didn’t order them. This may be due to lack of space or lack of interest, or oversight.
