9. Stories related to series
“I’ve just read your award-winning short story, and I gleaned from the magazine’s intro that it’s set in the world of your Quest of the Protagonist series. I was impressed with the story and I’d like to try the books, but when I go to your site, you have all sixty of your novels listed in order of publication, and I can’t tell which ones are part of the Protagonist series.”
If you’ve written a series, make it clear which book comes first. In addition, consider separating the series books in your bibliography or marking them in some way to distinguish them from your other work.
