I want greater control over the single book display. How can I do that?
Create a new folder in your theme folder called novelist_templates. Inside that folder, create a new file called book-content.php. This file is responsible for displaying all the book information. You can now create more complex layouts with book information. You'll need to use the Novelist_Book class to assist you in displaying each piece of book info. For example:
$book = new Novelist_Book( get_the_ID() );
if ( $book->title ) {
echo '<h1>' . esc_html( $book->title ) . '</h1>';
}
if ( $book->synopsis ) {
echo '<blockquote class="novelist-synopsis">' . wpautop( $book->synopsis ) . '</blockquote>';
}

By default, when showing book information, each taxonomy term (genre name or series name) will link to an automatically generated archive page. To disable these links, add this code snippet to a custom plugin:
add_filter('novelist/taxonomy/series-args', 'agNovelistDisableArchives');
add_filter('novelist/taxonomy/genre-args', 'agNovelistDisableArchives');
function agNovelistDisableArchives($args) {
$args['public'] = false;
return $args;
