A tie-in is a short story in the same 'world' of your novel. You pick a minor character in the novel and write a short story about them. It should expose the world of the novel in an interesting way. #writingcommunity #booksky #tieins
What also happens when you write companion short stories about a novel is that you, the writer, learn more about the character in your short story. They too will come alive even if their role is minor. This will INFORM your ongoing novel writing.

If you select your novel villain and generate a short story about a critical episode not in your novel then you are building a connection to your novel. It needs to be a good stand-alone short story. It won't include a ton of world building. Excite me!

You are still writing your novel. How do you help it sell?
You pluck a random character barely mentioned in your novel and you write a short story about them. In all story writing good guys and bad guys all think they are heros and in the right.

It's low-key #hilarious, all the un-self-aware #corporations jumping on #Severance bandwagon. It's like, 'hey Tim, the reason this is #funny isn't the reason you think.' 😆
