Seize the Moment

Thank you so much for the help,

'Imprints and other unrelated collections of works (usually by multiple authors) are not series. They can be grouped with a Listopia list, or the collection/imprint information can be listed in the edition field, but they should not be grouped into a series, or listed on a book's title line.

As a general rule, a book is only part of a series if that designation would apply to all editions of a work. To be a series, books should have characters and/or universes in common. In the case of imprints and other non-series collections, it is common for some of these books to be published under numerous other imprints as well.'

Abigail Harris (authorabigailkay) | 56 comments Yes, it is a series as the anthologies are connected.

Martin | 35998 comments Do all the stories in the anthologies share the same characters and/or universes?


message 5: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Harris (authorabigailkay) | 56 comments Yes, they do.

Abigail Harris (authorabigailkay) | 56 comments At least the main stories from the hosts are in the same world. They have the same characters, setting, and such.

The worlds are the same, the characters are from each short story from the author, and there are various ways the stories are connected in the series.

Martin | 35998 comments Thanks for the explanation.
I will have to leave this for a librarian with more experience than me, I have only a couple of months and have only dealt with clear-cut series.
Reading reviews of the first book (which seems to be the only one published) I would say that the stories there do not have a strong enough link to allow for ensuing anthologies to be considered part of a series.
