how to link text frames in affinity publisher
HeyBraza points at the tiny triangular text-flow buttons on the frame so your story flows into the next frame instead of overflowing.
long text only flows between frames in affinity if you link them - and the controls are two tiny triangles on the frame's corners that almost nobody spots. here's exactly where they are and how to chain frames across pages.
short answer
click the small triangular flow button at a frame's bottom-right corner, then click an empty frame or drag to draw a new one - the text continues into it. view > show > text flow draws the connecting lines so you can see the chain.

downloadcommon questions
where are the text frame link buttons in affinity?
they're the two small triangles at the top-left and bottom-right corners of a selected frame - bottom-right links to the next frame, top-left to the previous.
why won't my text flow into the second box?
the frames aren't linked yet - selecting them isn't enough. click the bottom-right flow triangle on the first frame, then click the second frame.
