Thanks for sharing these article links Simon. I've wondered about serialising but had so many questions about it. Looking forward to checking out more of your articles.
I did start writing a serial fiction. It's a novel I started years ago. After learning about serials, I felt it could help me to move along to write in serial form. I'd written lots of bits & pieces, never quite getting it together. I Realized I needed to feel more confident about serial structure & found this page. Thank you, it's helped.
I was struggling with writing my novel on the crusades but I'm going to go with serializing on substack. It'll be my draft and readers can comment for feedback, to which I can take to eventually creating a physical copy that's polished.
I've just begun serializing a fantasy novella, "The Jester," on my Substack. I am hoping it will spark some interest and provide me a good creative outlet. I've been a writer all my life, but this is a new venture for me. Here's to taking chances!
Thanks for the resource. I'm a little more than a month into building my own newsletter and figuring out how to build out my world in between my "tentpole" novels. This was very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for this. I've been writing professionally for oodles of years (under another name.) I've started this serialised fiction - Anthony Eastwood's Diaries - because a friend has a Substack and I really admire her approach. sharonk.substack.com
Thank you for the opportunity to share my upcoming novel. I'm serializing my novel, HOW TO LOVE YOUR ENEMY on my substack: https://pastoracate.substack.com/
This is a Christian speculative drama; How To Love Your Enemy centers on the lives of six people whose lives are inextricably linked through trauma, betrayal, shared faith, and intervention. HTLYE explores spiritual gifts and dreams as they apply to an otherwise mundane life.
Currently six chapters are available to paid subscribers, but anyone can give it a test run with a free seven-day trial subscription.
I just posted my first chapter on Substack a couple of days ago. It's humorous fantasy, heavily inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I've written a couple of novels that I'm currently querying, and hope to upload a chapter each month for this serial.
Read through the whole guide, I liked it and how it pushed back against a lot of common writing advice. I have a serial project of my own with Battles Beneath the Stars. Since it's currently in the equivalent of a gap between seasons I was paying close attention to the bits about outlining and finding your way as you go, helped me feel like I can probably start the next part of the story sooner rather than later.
Hi there, thanks so much of this resource, very interesting reading and is certainly giving me lots to think about as I get me own Substack writing project underway. All the best from a sunny Scotland!
Hi, Simon! I've yet to go through all the posts, but this is an excellent resource! I am considering serializing as well, and this all seems very encouraging. Thank you!
Hey Simon, I'm just getting started here but I've been enjoying you're info and approach, and the Triverse! Here's my stack for a novel I started a few months ago... if you're interested.
Your guide is a very helpful instruction manual. I’m reading a chapter every few days to let the suggestions sink in and avoid overwhelm. Many thanks for sharing and inspiring!
I'm working on a serial version of my novel, REPAIRING THE LEGACY. At the same time, I also have a serial running on Kindle Vella.
