Brian McClellan joined us to field questions about writing novels and series. Here are the questions:

• How do you write an ending that is open for sequels, but isn’t a cliffhanger?
• Is it a good idea to take a large novel, and release it instead as serial novellas?
• Can you debut with a series, or should you establish yourself with standalone novels first?
• How do you keep readers coming back for each new novel when there’s a long time between them?
• Should you have more than just one book done before querying agents?
• What do you do if your novel turns out to be too short to be a novel?
• Is it possible to write a series as a discovery writer?
• How do you foreshadow big things that are a long way out?
