What happens next

Bible & characters — drafted here, edited by you.
Series plan — one call designs every book at once: the spine, each book's own conflict, a development ladder per character showing where they stand at the end of every book, and a thread ledger recording every planted setup and the book that pays it off. A second call audits that plan and fixes what it finds.
Review the plan. This is the checkpoint that matters — it is far cheaper to fix a flat character arc here than after 400,000 words.
Run. Book by book: outline → scene plans → chapters (draft, line edit, continuity pass) → handoff to the next book. Resumable; nothing already written is billed twice.
