Busy with the first draft of a story and am coming to the end of a chapter of a certain timeframe. Beginning with the next chapter the story leaps forward 15 years however, I am uncertain how to go about this transition. Would you begin the chapter with a single line stating; 15 years later - and then pick up from there? Any advice will be appreciated.
I think that is basically standard. Though you might want to do a short explanation of most important events which happened during the timeskip/interlude, so that readers aren't left too confused if a lot changed.
