Gold advice as always. One question: do you have beta readers? Do you see them working in a serialized fiction environment? (Due to the fast pace and smaller available time for them to read and give feedback)
I don’t. In a way, the entire thing is a big, public beta read. If you wanted more feedback prior to publishing, though, you could build in more of a buffer between writing and publishing.
I think that sounds like great advice. I especially take the point about how much closer to readers serialisation on Substack makes you. It's going to be a journey!
I’m bookmarking this for therapeutic reasons. Excellent!

Enjoy it!
