Across bookstores and the Web, book series have been immensely popular - across all genres. If you're wondering what makes a series of books so popular with both publishers and readers or desire to write a series of your own, listen to The Ins and Outs of Writing a Series.

Guest speaker and author Lauren Willig discusses what it is that makes series so attractive to both publishing houses and fans. Going element by element, she dissects what goes into different types of series, examining the various ways in which stories are linked together, with particular attention to the way series type differs by genre. She also discusses what you need to know to write an open-ended versus a close-ended series, and the pros and cons of each approach.

Among the different types of series she discusses are: family or friend-linked, thematically linked, geographically linked, single protagonist, changing story, or single protagonist, ongoing story. When you listen to this 92-minute online instructional video, you'll learn the definitions, pros and cons of each series type, and examples of popular book series from today's markets.

Once you've chosen the type of series you want to write, it's time to get into world-building and character development. Willig talks about ways in which you can turn your world into a place your readers want to return to again and again, whether it's an Alabama police station or a Regency ballroom. What is it that draws people in and keeps them there? Learn how to make your characters your readers' ongoing companions. Plus, she discusses character development for the long haul, creating characters who can grow and develop over time, and the art of managing a complex cast of ongoing characters and side characters.

zelda‘s “indoor” ⚽️ ball!
Color: Squeaky Green, Size: Medium Size 2 (6")
zelda loves her soccer ball - because of the fabric “tabs”, and the way she treats her toys, we keep it inside. she loves to place all of her toys and bones on our bed, after they’ve been cleaned. this ball is perfect and soft enough to throw it down our steps, where she will run down, retrieve it, and bring it back to the bed. it arrives deflated and comes with the pump and two needles - the pump is not the sturdiest and felt like it was not inflating, but after only having to reflate it once with a bit of air since receiving it ~5-6 months ago, it still holds up!

Small for a medium
Color: Red-Blue, Size: Medium Size 2 (6"), Color: Red-Blue, Size: Medium Size 2 (6")
I got medium.. and it does not look like a medium ball.. it’s rather small. It’s pretty sturdy and my dogs went crazy for it but it’s definitely not the size I thought it was going to be 😂 my dogs chewed one strap within 5 minutes of having it but they’re dogs and that’s what they do lol. I bought this to be an outside ball for them! It’s pretty light but that’s probably because it’s small. Not soft? But feels like a soccer ball. It also had no smell coming out of the box. Also comes with a pump and an extra thing to put in the ball to pump in case you lose one. I like these balls, I expect them to be chewed up because that’s what I bought them for! Fun for my dogs and they are! But the size… it is not medium and that’s the only reason for 3 stars 😂😂😂 Other then that I recommend, your dog will definitely love this! Inside or outside playing! Alone or with another dog!

Great toy for a GSD
Color: Blue Gray, Size: Extra Large Size 5 (9")
My GSD loves to grab the flaps and shake her head with the ball bouncing of the side of her head. This is her favorite toy. I thought she would puncture it but it has held up great since she likes to grab the flaps rather than biting the ball.
