Description

As your story expands, do you find keeping track of the evolving ideas and details overwhelming? What about if you’re writing not just one book but a whole series? 

In today’s episode, you’ll learn how you can maintain consistency and track story threads, regardless of whether you’re working with professional editors or beta readers. 

You’ll walk away knowing how to better communicate with your editor about their offerings, including whether they’ll create a style sheet for you. Erin also shares the importance of using style tags in writing programs like Microsoft Word or Google Docs for seamless navigation, both in your manuscript and style sheet.

Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting, this episode provides valuable tools to enhance your storytelling journey.

Topics discussed in this episode: 

  • Why style sheets make all the difference
  • Which sections to include in your style sheet and why
