0:00
Now created two books using booknova
0:04
tool and it is time to create a series.
0:08
Actually the series of books was created
0:10
automatically because in the book
0:14
writing section actually I did not use
0:16
the start a new book from scratch. What
0:18
I did is simply select my book here and
0:21
click on write next book. So it
0:24
automatically created a series because I
0:26
didn't have a series yet for my first
0:29
book. But with the second book, it
0:31
becomes a series. So let's have a look
0:33
at what book Nova created for us and
0:35
later how we can do the same in Amazon
0:37
KDP. So here in the my series menu, I
0:44
will have access to my series. By
0:45
default, it used the title from uh my
0:49
first book, Between Us Somewhere series,
0:51
which is actually good for me. But I
0:54
could choose to change the title
0:59
and um let's have a look at the series
1:02
details. So, we have already two books
1:04
inside. We can use here the button to
1:06
write a new book. We can of course
1:08
delete the series. We can add a new
1:10
book. And here we have the series bible.
1:12
What the series the AI remembers? the
1:14
series. It's kept consistent in every
1:16
book. And that's why it's so important
1:20
to have a series because it can reuse
1:24
your characters. It can reuse so many
1:27
things from your different books. So
1:31
here I use the option to rebuild the
1:33
series Bible. Of course, you need a few
1:37
books to have a series Bible. So you can
1:39
see what are the recurring character.
1:41
When I did create a new book based from
1:42
a beautiful based from business
1:45
somewhere to create a beautiful life, I
1:47
did select a few options to carry over
1:51
some uh characters. In in the next
1:55
video, we will see how to add a book to
1:57
an existing series and carry over
1:59
characters and more. But now, let's just
2:04
um at the at the series. And uh now on
2:08
Amazon we will go to Amazon KDP and here
2:11
on the series setup. So if we just go
2:16
back maybe to Amazon KDP homepage we can
2:20
select what we want to create from our
2:23
bookshelf. So here we select the option
2:25
create new title or series and we create
2:28
the same series on Amazon. So by default
2:30
each book is individual on Amazon. It
2:33
doesn't know the connection. If you have
2:34
a series existing when you publish the
2:36
book it's very easy to select the
2:38
series. So here I don't have series. So
2:40
let's create a series page. The language
2:43
is English in my case but you have
2:45
choice between so many languages. You
2:47
need to enter the series title. So in my
2:50
case it's between us somewhere which is
2:52
the title of my first book and goes very
2:54
well for the this uh romance
2:58
series. Then we have to choose the
3:00
reading how the order. So how we want
3:02
the titles to be displayed. Uh so here
3:07
titles don't have to be read in in
3:10
sequence. So it can be unordered.
3:13
We don't need to display numbers with
3:14
titles because the books can really be
3:16
read in any order. They don't really
3:18
follow each other. They are connected.
3:20
But if you read one of the books, you
3:23
will not really miss anything because
3:24
it's a brand new story, a new romance
3:27
story in each book. So for example the
3:30
same as the shall shallowcom series and
3:32
on the contrary if your series is
3:34
ordered so like the lords of the rings
3:36
if you read the second book you will not
3:38
understand anything without knowing
3:40
what's happening in the first book then
3:42
the series images will be taken
3:44
automatically from the book covers in
3:46
our series. Now I asked GPT to create a
3:50
description for my series. So, the
3:52
Between Us Somewhere series follows
3:54
Michelle Pinson through intense
3:56
encounters, complicated relationships,
3:58
desire, deception, and the unpredictable
4:00
reality of modern romance. From
4:02
unexpected connections to relationships
4:05
that cross borders and distance, each
4:07
story explores attraction, trust,
4:09
vulnerability, and the moments when what
4:11
we believe about someone collides with
4:13
the truth. Romantic, sensual, witty, and
4:17
emotionally charmed, the series follows
4:19
Michelle as every new connection leaves
4:21
its mark and teaches him something about
4:23
love, desire, and himself. Very good.
4:26
Very good description. Now, let's submit
4:28
the update. And we have created our book
4:33
series. And now we have to manage the
4:36
series. So, here we have to use the
4:38
existing button uh manage series. So
4:42
just by putting our mouse over we have a
4:45
menu that shows up add title create new
4:47
title or delete series. So here we will
4:49
add title because our books are already
4:53
published. Uh so the series status is in
4:56
review. It is submitted for publishing
4:58
and currently in review. Same as a book
5:00
we can already add the title. So either
5:03
by using the manage series button or
5:05
here there are no books added to the
5:06
series yet. Simply add an existing
5:09
title. And here I have all the titles
5:12
I've published on Amazon. And here it
5:14
is. The first one is Between Us
5:17
Somewhere. So how is this title related
5:19
to the series? Is it the main content?
5:21
This book is one of the primary titles
5:23
of the series. Or is it a related
5:24
content? This book is supplemental such
5:27
as a prequel, short story, etc. So it is
5:30
part of the main content. The title
5:32
information is correct.
5:35
So we can reuse the information. And now
5:39
the book have been added to our series.
5:42
We can then add the second book. Click
5:44
again on add existing title. Select the
5:47
book a beautiful lie. It is again a main
5:50
content of the series. The information
5:54
is correct. That's our book title. And
5:57
here we go. Our series have been
5:59
updated. And now we have a series with
6:02
two uh two books. And later on once it
6:06
will have been approved we will be able
6:08
to see it uh live on on Amazon. So right
6:14
now it is not so it takes some time they
6:17
say up to 72 hours. We will see how long
6:19
it takes. If we actually try to go to
6:24
uh my book series. So let's check oops
6:32
Okay, there is a critical error. But
6:34
let's go then to Amazon
6:55
between us somewhere.
7:02
between us somewhere. And here we go.
7:05
The book is available here, but we don't
7:09
have any information about the series
7:11
yet because it has not been validated
7:14
yet. But once that will be the case, we
7:16
will see it appear on the book's main
7:18
page. Try bookn Nova and create and
7:22
publish your own book series.
