Keeping Track of Your Book Details

I write four series, and I am often asked to provide details about the different books. I have to have a way to keep this all organized. Here’s what I do:

  • I keep (and backup) a Word file for each series that includes each book’s ISBN and buy links from a variety of different booksellers.

  • I have an electronic folder with the artwork for each book’s cover. I keep subfolders with copies of the marketing graphics that I use.

  • For details about me, I have a Word document with a standard small, medium, and large biography. I also have a list in this document of the links to my social media sites.

  • For the details of each series, I keep an Excel spreadsheet that has a column for each book. I list details for each character and what books they appear in.

  • And finally, I keep a Word document for each series that lists blurbs and reviews by book. If I ever need a pull quote, I have my choice.

What helps you stay organized with your writing materials?
